FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“Of course we need banks and financial products to keep the economy running,
but we don’t need banks that speculate. We need to bring in rules against
excess,” he said in a speech at Kings College, London.
“What caused the crisis in the eurozone if it wasn’t uncontrolled speculation?”
The Left-wing candidate who is tipped to beat Mr Sarkozy by a narrow margin in
the first round of presidential elections on April 22 and by a comfortable
one in the run-off on May 6.
The Socialist did not meet David
Cameron, who has thrown his weight behind conservative incumbent Nicolas
Sarkozy. Mr Hollande’s aides said he had made no formal request to
meet the Prime Minister but diplomatic sources said Mr Cameron had turned
one down.
He held talks with Ed Miliband, who the Hollande camp heaped praise on.
“I have been very, very encouraged by the leadership he’s been showing,” the
Labour leader said in his offices in Westminster. “I’m very impressed by the
energy and dynamism he has shown in his campaign.”
Mr Miliband stopped short of supporting his French counterpart’s call for a 75
per cent tax on the super rich, saying he would stick to a 50 per cent top
bracket. But, he added, the pair were on the same wavelength in building a
“fairer society.”
Mr Hollande said that he hoped to spearhead a new wave of Left-wing leaders
that would change the face of Europe. The Socialist has promised to
renegotiate the recent European fiscal pact – which Britain rejected –
saying it places too much emphasis on austerity and not enough on growth and
solidarity.
“I hope the French election can be a force for change in Europe and that this
change can also happen in Britain,” he said.
Mr Hollande’s campaign manager made it clear he saw Mr Cameron’s support as a
poisoned chalice for Mr Sarkozy. “Being the friend of the Conservatives, the
friend of Thatcherites and their heirs…is frankly pretty strange for the
so-called ‘candidate of the people’,” said Pierre Moscovici.
Mr Sarkozy received a warm welcome when he visited London in his 2007 election
campaign, telling French expatriates: “France is still your country even if
you are disappointed by it.”
A majority in London voted for him, mirroring the national outcome. But Mr
Hollande hopes to cash in on strong anti-Sarkozy sentiment at home and
abroad.
After his speech at Kings College he chatted at length with students before
mingling with French expatriates. Not all were taken in by his tax the rich
stance. “My father runs a company and says he will leave the country if you
are elected,” said Lauren, 20, a French student at Kings College.
London is often referred to as France’s sixth city due to its huge expatriate
population, but voter turnout was very low in 2007. This time round, some
72,000 French are registered to vote.
French expatriates in the UK will for the first time be able to elect their
own MP to the National Assembly in legislative elections in June.
