More liberty and equality

It isn't our republican model that has failed, but France's mediocre
and prejudiced political elite

When, on Monday evening - the 12th day of the unprecedented wave of
violence which has spread throughout France - the French prime minister
Dominique de Villepin addressed the nation, he was careful not to say
the word.
However, President Chirac and his government yesterday passed a decree
giving full powers to the prefects of France to implement curfews
wherever they deem it necessary. For the first time in 44 years, the
political power in France feels compelled to use the act of April 3
1955, thus declaring a state of emergency, l'=E9tat d'urgence. This law
was used by General de Gaulle, in 1961, to restore order in Algeria and
Paris, where at least 200 French Algerians were shot dead by police.
