The processions of demonstrators against the CPE and clashes in the Sorbonne bite the curiosity of the international media. But if the conflict is for the moment less recipe that events that have shaken the suburbs a few months ago, this is no doubt that observers found the French situation very difficult to understand. Including our closest neighbours. Italy, for example, the fronde against the CPE is followed closely, but it is perceived as relatively paradoxical by many experts. In this country where the youth unemployment rate reached 24, flexibility is one of the keys to the campaign themes and one of the main proposals of Romano Prodi, the candidate of the left. Introduced in 1997 by the centre-left, amplified in 2003 by Act Biaggi, flexibility is in Italian mores through "training and work contracts", the insertion or learning. But, as noted in the "Echos" Economist Elsa Fornero, Biaggi Act was the subject of greater collaboration with the social partners, even if the amendment to article 18 of the Statute of workers resulted in a lift of shields of trade unions.
Incorrigible and uncontrollable
The Germany is also closely following the French situation. With envy for some (who admire the new "französische Revolution"), and condescending to others, who consider the France as incorrigible and especially ungovernable and allergic to change. "The reform of the labour market is a clear necessity." "But the trade unions and elected representatives of left opposed to go in the direction of the revolt of the youth who refuse any institutionalized form of precariousness", explains one of the leaders of the DGB Trade Union Confederation consisting of 7.9 million employees.
For the British, the French students are simply "on the wrong side of the barricade", according to John Thornhill, the "Financial Times". They should rather ask the Government to relax laws to protect all the employees, instead of claiming the same level of social protection than their parents. Even "The Economist", usually reluctant to approve Dominique de Villepin, believes that the CPE can solve "real shame of the country, the mass unemployment. And explain that the SCE "introduces an essential principle: is it is too difficult to dismiss employees, employers do hire them not."
Indifferent Asia
Beyond the old Continent, the challenge of the CEP is little waves, even in the US where the media, which had largely relayed the crisis of the suburbs, are just beginning to address the issue with this, a feeling of incomprehension. Indifference is in Asia. The Japan, which is strengthening the third undergraduate, follows with distant interest the events in France. Little shocked by the turn of events, the "Asahi Shimbun", one of the biggest draws, advanced however the fact that the conflict shakes of more and more the hexagon. China, traditionally discreet on the social problems of the "friendly" countries, only cold, without comment, even if accounts in a text in Chinese published on its site, the diplomats of the Embassy of China in France explain that "PBS is the most important political test of Dominique de Villepin".
