States General of the Opposition

States General of the Opposition

On the occasion of the fifth convention of the Estates General of the opposition, devoted to the economy and held on the Defence, the leaders of the right denounced the economic action of Prime Minister Michel Rocard. Arrival of Jacques CHIRAC at the convention of the general states, embraces and handshakes. Alain MADELIN (UDF -PR) and Nicolas SARKOZY (RPR) in the gallery, the barons of the RPR (Edouard BALLADUR, Charles PASQUA, Bernard PONS, etc.) in the front row. Excerpt from the speech of Jacques CHIRAC "I would say that this new tax, the generalized social contribution, is typical of the ROCARD method. We are not addressing the real problems, the future of our pensions. It is better to follow a stupid method that we know of, rather than an intelligent path that we have never tried. Mr ROCARD should think about this maxim." Applause in the room.
