The political life of France is currently alive. There is a new whiff associated with recognition of a Palestinian state, which will soon consider the French Parliament, the General Assembly. The head of a large political party, Union for a popular movement (Union pour un mouvement populaire or UMP) re-elected former President Nicolas Sarkozy of France that gives its prospects and course a new direction. In addition, France has another reform of school education.
Palestine is one of the oldest populated and famous land, located on the Eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea between Egypt and Syria. The name, derived from the ancient people “Philistines”, combines the familiar of the Scriptures, Canaan, Galilee, Samaria, Israel and Judah. For Jews it is the Promised Land. In the Explanatory dictionary by V. I. dal, we find the meaning of the word “Palestine” for the Russian “Motherland, Motherland, native home place.” For a long time, with the return of the Jews and strengthening the Jewish state of Israel, it lasts the struggle for the status of the Arab population of Palestine. In the course of this struggle to redraw the boundaries, built up by Jews and under international pressure, they released the territory of the Palestinians, and the Arab section in its current form recognised internationally, a small number of States.
So, France can become one more country to recognize Palestinian state if today, December 02, 2014, demanding the government to recognize a vote by the Assembly. France can join the European movement with the prospect of making proposals on the recognition to vote in the European Parliament. In early October 2014, the Parliament of the United Kingdom expressed the wish to the government on the recognition of Palestine. At the end of October it was recognized as Sweden. Thus is accomplished the recognition of “territory” (i.e., States that do not have clear boundaries), its people and government.

As for Nicolas Sarkozy, his party, according to the newspaper Le Monde, after his departure from the presidency on “may 6, 2012, is in a state of political, moral and financial collapse. Exhausted with the struggle for the head, unable to quickly reach constructive opposition, left allies – the party of centrists, tainted “Pygmalion thing” in the face of competition of the National Front (Front national), a large part of the party is reminiscent of the field of ruins, despite his success at the spring municipal elections and senatorial autumn. For the restoration to the presidential elections of 2017 batch is 30 months.”
Рthe newspaper believes, however, that the election of N. Sarkozy, the President may, if he can settle 4 the moment:
1) leadership,
2) the creation of a new platform of the party uniting right-wing and centrist,
3) преодоление интеллектуального кризиса, связанного с анализом положения страны и её чаяний,
4) the formation of an Alliance strategy is extremely right-wing and centrist, which in its current form is questionable. // Paris// 02/12/2014, Source: Le Monde
