In this hiatus the head of State has decided to act on the two plans

And if the first signals of economic recovery were more embarrassing than anything else, at least in the first place This is the realization a little paradoxical that reached the Government, which today performs his high school. Back from Cap Nègre, Nicolas Sarkozy presides over this morning the Council of Ministers, receives this afternoon bankers, installs tomorrow the commission on the great loan, before speaking to ambassadors, and should complement its Government with the appointment of some Secretaries of State. A "combative" re-entry, according to the Elysee, nourished of prudence and the feeling that it is in times of recovery that social injustices are felt most harshly and the social climate is the most electric.

The signals are in red

"The French are very difficult to accept massive unemployment if the stock market and the French CAC 40 are beginning to recover", noted there are few Gaël Sliman, Deputy Director General of BVA ("Les Echos" from August 12).It is exactly this scheme which seems to become: signals are in red on the front of the employment, social and arrival require young people on the labour market, and bankers to grant bonuses, confident in their good economic law.

At the end of the meeting scheduled for this afternoon in the Elysee Palace, Nicolas Sarkozy should speak in a solemn declaration, and detail a series of measures to facilitate the granting of credit and impose wages more "(lirepage20) decent.

Rest the head of State, by popularity on the rise (read page 12), does not want to simply be defensive about the economic crisis, or the prospect of an influenza pandemic has. The book of the reforms is also provided that these past two years, with the project of the territorial communities Act, the carbon tax and the removal of business tax, the preparation of negotiations on global warming climate, and of course the large borrowing to finance "expenses for the future" (see below).

Very dense agenda

Not to mention the international agenda, it also very dense: meeting with Angela Merkel at the weekend, visit State to the Brazil on 7 and 8 September, the G20 Pittsburgh Summit on 24 and 25 September.

After its malaise of the month of July, Nicolas Sarkozy has complied with the prescription of his doctors for a quiet summer: it now seems anxious to show that the incident is closed.
