This time it is to do too much that could harm

Last conclave before the holidays. The Council of Ministers is meeting today in the Elysee Palace in the presence of Nicolas Sarkozy, apparently recovered from his accident of health over the weekend, before a summer break of nearly four semaines. The opportunity to return to the entry, often accelerated, several Government heavyweights.

l Education: Luc Chatel attempts to resume the dialogue

Named Rue de Grenelle a week before the end of the school year, Luc Chatel has not really had time to rub in the academic world. But this has not prevented him from multiply visits in schools before the summer recess and at length receive the Union leaders. With a goal in mind: arise after a second half marked by increasingly tense relations between its predecessor, Xavier Darcos, and teachers, including on the question of the formation of the masters. Former Executive at l ' Oréal, Luc Chatel is not derived from the Seraglio and said, as a result, open to discussion. But he has promised to carry out the reforms left outstanding by Xavier Darcos, especially that of high schools. And he will not return on the 16,000 deletions of posts in Education in 2010. A measure happening very evil teacher worldwide already prey to a deep malaise.

l Interior: Brice Hortefeux shows its authority

Has been much criticized Brice Hortefeux lack of activism during the few months that he has passed to the Ministry of labour. This time, it is to do too much that could harm. A few days after his appointment, he defended the Assembly Act on the police-mounted approximation. The Decree on the establishment of the "Grand Paris of security", an expensive record Nicolas Sarkozy, was presented in Conseil of Ministers last week. Brice Hortefeux also convened two weeks ago all the prefects of France in demanding "results" in the fight against insecurity. Using a very firm tone, which reminded many of the accents of his mentor of the Elysee Palace, the new Minister of the Interior has not hesitated to dismiss on his predecessor, Michèle Alliot-Marie, without directly naming the uplift of the figures of crime since the beginning of the year. An impropriety coupled with a faux pas during the national holiday when it refused to pass the numbers on the incidents survenus the night of 14 to 15 July, requiring the prefectures they keep they also silence.

l Justice: Michèle Alliot-Marie plays appeasement

"Dialogue" and "dialogue" are the watchwords of the new keeper of the seals. A way to decide with Rachida Dati, which left an impression of malaise and confusion to a large part of the judiciary. For dialogue, Michèle Alliot-Marie multiplied field visits: in prison first, because it is one of the priority sites identified by Nicolas Sarkozy in his speech to the Congress, but also in the courts. Yesterday, the Minister of Justice was to the interregional Court specialized in Marseille and then to the House of justice and the law of Aubagne. By bringing together last week the heads of court, the Minister of Justice held nonetheless to stress that the incurred réformes would continue. And records for re-entry are not lacking: Prison Act the Assembly in the autumn, reform of the criminal procedure with the light report expected for September 3, not counting the follow-up to the Darrois report on high profession of the law.

l Culture: Frédéric Mitterrand rubs to cactus Internet

For his baptism of fire, Frédéric Mitterrand had to defend in Parliament the very controversial Bill on illegal downloading. With lyrical flights, speech to the Assembly of the new Minister of Culture has been standing ovation by the UMP deputies, but sparked a fire of criticism among the Socialists. On the merits of the case, the host of the Rue de Valois has replayed the partition of the conviction, he had to watch, powerless, the postponement of the vote of the members of Parliament in September. Frédéric Mitterrand, who has indicated that he did not need a Secretary of State for Communication, knows that he is "a Department very exposed". His will is to register "in the real." To do this, it intends to deliver "the relationship with the artists" at the centre of its action and, upon re-entry, foundations of the digital creation will be created. On major media sites, he does, however, not much said. Apart from announcing that it would defend the development plan for the kiosks.

l Agriculture: Bruno Le Maire quiet game

In the space of four weeks, Bruno Le Maire succeeded the tour de force to bring a little quiet on the front of milk and to facilitate the negotiations related to the resumption of Entremont, European leader of the emmenthal. Even if nothing is resolved on the merits, the new Minister of Agriculture has forced the players in the sector to store knives and dialogue. His first day Rue de Varenne, marked by a luncheon with the Commissioner for Agriculture, he had, from the outset given a credit of confidence for the rest of the operations. Mariann Fischer Boel, who farm ready gladly the responsibility of the evils of the sector, indeed, accepted following this meeting to extend eight-month procurement of milk to relieve the Community market.

l Social Affairs: Xavier Darcos is its milestones

The former Minister of Education successfully its first examination of passage in carrying out the reform of labour Sunday, definitively adopted last week. On the banks of the Assembly as behind the scenes, the new Minister of labour has worked his sentence to glean the support of many deputies and Senators cautious. Remains it now to pass the obstacle of the Constitutional Council. Xavier Darcos also quickly asked milestones on the major dossier ahead in 2010, that of pensions, citing a decline in the age of his arrival. To treat the forms for a year where he will be expected at the turn by the unions on many issues (pensions, hardship, professional equality, dependency), he multiplied the exchanges with the Confederate leaders, while safely leaving Christian Estrosi, Minister of industry, in first line to the radicalization of the conflict of business.

industry: Christian Estrosi plays deminers

This was not to displease him: barely appointed, the new Minister of industry found himself in the heart of the news with the radicalisation of the conflict of business. In a vein very sarkozyste, it is immediately mounted to the niche, multiplying the releases and the déplacements. Leaves, sometimes, to blur a little speech, denouncing the blackmail in the cylinders of gas of the employees, while interceding on their behalf. Left, too, to risk to give ideas to the employees of other companies in difficulty. But his readiness to play mediators will be permitted a little relax tensions, at least temporarily as in New Fabris, even to arrive at an exit of conflict, as with Nortel. A firefighter suit that the Manager of motorcycle, again donned yesterday by receiving employees of Alcatel-Lucent, threatened by restructuring, before to meet today with fashion designer Christian Lacroix.
