Lionel Jospin, France's would-be president

Article Abstract:

French prime minister, Lionel Jospin, has been popular, and has not abandoned socialism, unlike British prime minister, Tony Blair. Jospin argues that economies should serve humans rather than the reverse, and that rules are needed for society. France is enjoying strong economic growth, but some 10% of the work force is unemployed, and there has been little action on pension reform. Jospin has strong political skills, and there is a possibility that he could become the next French president.

Jospin's way

Article Abstract:

French prime minister, Lionel Jospin, may be seeking to bid for the presidency in 2002. the French economy is likely to grow by 3% in 2000, up from 2.3% forecast for 1999, and unemployment is falling. Taxes are being reduced and spending on employment and education has been increased. Critics argue that Jospin is not a socialist, and accepts globalization, with the US taking a leading role. Critics from the political left lack an alternative to Jospin, who could yet succeed in his presidential bid.
