-She has the track record --in charge of portfolios both in left wing(headed by Beregovoy and Jospin) and right wing (from March 2001 to March 2002 in Martine Aubry's Ministry for Employment and Social affairs) governments --Parliament member for a long time, she has an experience of winning direct electoral mandates (unlike current Prime Minister Villepin)
-She has the guts the tasks she was in charge of while at the government were not easy one. Among others, the ZEP (zones d'éducation prioritaires) programme aimed at developing the education system in the less affluent (and most restless) French suburban areas.
-She is young (by French standards when it comes to politicians) and attractive, and she has the communication skills, something that not only Jospin, but the bulk of the French leading politicians, miss cruelly. When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill
and right wing (from March 2001 to March 2002 in Martine Aubry's Ministry for Employment and Social affairs) governments
What do you mean by a "right wing" government? It was still a socialist government under Jospin In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
