France24 - Sarkozy says state to lead French industrial renaissance

REUTERS - France will play a more hands-on role in managing its state shareholdings, President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Thursday as he unveiled policies aimed at halting the decline of French industry.  Sarkozy also said he would earmark millions of euros to encourage companies to innovate with green investment and bring jobs back to France as part of a plan to help a sector that has shed over half a million workers in the last 10 years.   "The state is going to profoundly review its role as a shareholder in the big industrial companies," he told workers at a Eurocopter factory in southern France.

Sarkozy appears to be doing exactly what Chirac did at the same point in his Presidency, eg starting to actually champion things the public seems to support.  As usual the right-wing French leader looks like a pinko commie based on the reactions of the rest of the world.  

Does anyone think France regrets not getting involved in Iraq?  lol.

In the media today, forgotten tomorrow.
