Arrivé ce jeudi à la Réunion, François Hollande a annoncé une trentaine de mesures en faveur de l’économie et de l’emploi sur l’île. Le département d’outre-mer, qui avait voté à plus de 70% pour le candidat Hollande, est marqué par le chômage de masse.

Arriving last Tuesday in la Reunion, Francois Hollande has announced thirty measures to help the economy and the employment on the island. The over-seas department, who voted 70% for the Hollande candidate, is marked by massive unemployment.

L’accueil a été moins chaleureux qu’il y a deux ans lorsqu’il était venu en candidat. Le président de la République est arrivé ce jeudi à la Réunion, première étape de son déplacement de trois jours dans l’Océan Indien. L’île qui avait voté à plus de 70% pour lui en 2012 garde le triste record du chômage avec 30% de la population active, et 60% des jeunes, privée d’emploi. S’il n’est pas nécessaire, selon François Hollande, “d’inventer des politiques différentes” pour la Réunion, il a reconnu qu’il fallait en faire plus et davantage compte tenu de la spécificité de l’île. Le président de la République a donc annoncé une trentaine de mesures en faveur de l’île.

His welcome was less warm than two years ago while he was a candidate. The president of the Républic arrived ion Tuesday, the firts stage of his trip of three days in the Indian Ocean. The island which voted more than 70% for him in 2012 keeps a sad record of unemployment with 30% of the adult population, and 60% of youth, deprived of work. It is not necessary, according to Hollande, “to invent different politics” for la Reunion , itis known that we must make the most of the advantages counted among the specifics of the island. The president of the Républic therefore announced thirty measures in favour of the island. (Favourable tax measures among them)

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.
