Vingt-cinq après Edith Cresson, une femme sera-t-elle nommée à Matignon ? C’est en tout cas la volonté d’Emmanuel Macron. “C’est plutôt mon souhait”, a déclaré le candidat d’En marche !, mercredi 8 mars, lors d’une réunion publique à Paris organisée dans le cadre de la Journée des droits des femmes.

Twenty five years after Edith Cresson, could a woman be nominated for Matignon? “It is above all my wish”, declared the candidate on the move! today 8 March, while at a public meeting in Paris organised within the framework of the Day for Womens Rights.

“Après, je ne vais pas choisir un Premier ministre parce que c’est une femme, a-t-il expliqué. Je choisirai le Premier ministre le plus compétent, le plus capable possible, avec le souhait et la volonté que ce soit aussi une femme”.

“After all, I’m not going to to chose a Prime Minister just because she’s a woman, he explained. I will chose the most competent and capable PM possible, also with the will and the wish that it be a woman”  

“Je ne révèlerai pas les noms” “I won’t reveal any names”

Emmanuel Macron a expliqué qu”il n’y avait eu “qu’une expérience en France”, “quelqu’un de remarquable, Edith Cresson, dont la vie n’a pas été facilitée parce que le contexte politique était très dur”.  En revanche, “je ne révélerai pas les noms, a coupé court l’ancien ministre de l’Economie. Ca dépend d’une réflexion grave, qui dépend aussi des conditions de l’élection, ça dépend du contexte dans lequel on est élu”.

Although France was having a hard time  politically at the time and life was not easy, Edith Cresson was remarkable as the last woman PM.  As opposed to that I will be revealing no names”, the former Economic Minister said curtly. “It will take serious consideration, also depending on the election outcome, and the context in which one is elected”  

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
