DSK - starts talking about inequalities, saying there are more and more, repeats the same thing he said earlier about using the wrong methodology in the past, and then gets to men and women ... saying that we need to prevent inequalities before capitalism creates them: "something must be done about this particularly horrible one between men and women, we won't be able to solve all inequalities in 5 years" (but we'll get some).
What about you Fabius? Maybe you could even start with parity in your government?
Fabius - "Yes, I have in fact promised it, my government will have as many men as women [..] i would fight against imposed part time [..] for instance in companies, very early in the morning, 4am, it's often women who clean up ... which means they cannot have dinner with their children, this is what I mean by imposed part time [..] increase allocations towards women"
What about you Royal, do you think the 35 hours are responsible here? You seemed to be criticizing them ...
Royal - "the 35 hour week constituted a great progress for many, but a regression for some [..] it needs to always be a factor of social progress, so in sectors where it hasn't been, it will have to be adapted. I'm not saying it's a mistake, it's created a great amount of jobs, has increased productivity and is a true social progress, I am only saying that in cases where it didn't lead to job creations, it created social regression"
