It's impossible to tell, for now, whether this is only a 'golden hello' which will soon fall away, to resurface in particular struggles over the coming period, or a crisis that might generalise. The former seems most likely but these next four years (and the next four days) seem likely to be very interesting indeed. Time to work up that rusty French, everyone!
(those already possessing capable french will have a whale of a time over at Indymedia Ile de France...)
