Bonjour, j'ai une revue de presse à faire. Je l'ai réalisée sur les adieux en politique de Jacques Chirac.

J'aimerai que, ceux qui en sont aptes, corrigent ma revue de presse.

Merci d'avance, c'est très gentil.

Aussi, j'aimerai savoir quelle est la différence entre his et its ?

Cordialement.

Voici ma revue de presse, réalisée à l'aide de 3 articles du Times, Guardian, Telegraph :

JACQUES CHIRAC SAYS GOODBYE TO THE FRENCH POLITICS




The President of France, Jacque Chirac, announced the 11th March that he would not be running for a third term. He said farewell to 40 years in politics. Despite feigned suspense, the president’s decision not to run had been widely viewed as a foregone conclusion. According to The Telegraph, his (its) televised talk was “an emotionally-charged address, heralding the end of four decades at the top of French political life.”

The daily newspaper for business people, The Times, runs as a headline: “Chirac announces departure as leader of beloved country”. This man, who comes from the Corrèze, said in his ten-minute address of the “passionate love” that he had felt for France and its people in a lifetime that he had devoted for his nation.

The 74 year-old president talked, in pre-recorded broadcast: “At the end of the mandate that you have entrusted with me, the moment will come for me to serve you in another way. I do not solicit your votes for a new mandate.” Jacques Chirac, who boasts one of the longest continuous political careers in Europe – twice president, twice prime minister and 18 years as mayor of Paris, as recalled by The Guardian. M. Chirac said “Not for a minute I have stopped acting to serve this magnificent France. This France that I love as much as I love you.”

The Telegraph often called “Torygraph”because of the stance’s newspaper on the right-wing and near the Tories, drew up mixed results: “His retirement opens the debate over his chequered legacy, with international successes but many domestic failures.”

Jacques Chirac said in his statement he was proud of upholding French secular values, of reducing crime and bringing down unemployment, which he said was at its lowest point for almost 25 years. He urged the French to reject the “poison” of extremism and restore its sense of self-belief: “We must not fear the changes of the world”, he specified.

The president, who failed with the referendum on the EU constitution in 2005, called for continued European integration, and said France had “special responsibilities” to advert a “clash of civilisations” in the world. He said it would be “immoral and dangerous” to allow unbridled liberalism to widen the gap between the world’s rich and poor. Lastly, he called on the French to take part in the “ecological revolution”.

The Guardian, which is in sympathy with the middle-ground liberal to left-wing end of the political spectrum, was ironic with Jacques Chirac: “Styling himself as an affable rogue, Mr Chirac for decades charmed the public with his handshaking, patting of cows and shaking of dogs’ paws on his tours round France – a man of the people who was able to eat five lunches in one afternoon on the election trail through kitchens.” The daily newspaper is not tender with the president, who nicknamed as a “weathervane” in the columns of the Guardian. It remembered that Jacques Chirac was dogged by the sleaze scandals from his days at Paris city hall, which saw some of his closest associates convicted of corruption. The Guardian said “He claimed immunity as president, but even after he leaves the Elysée Palace, he is unlikely ever to see serious sanctions.”

According to The Times: “A broad consensus holds that Mr Chirac excelled in foreign policy, asserting France’s voice in Europe and the world.” Jacques Chirac’s popularity rose over his opposition to the war in Iraq and he will be remembered for his quest to reconcile France with its history, the first French head of state to recognise the Vichy regime’s collaboration in the Holocaust and to apologize to the Jewish people.

The Gaullist president gave no formal backing to his former protege turned rival, Nicolas Sarkozy, 52, the head of the Union for a Popular Movement, who is firm favourite to succeed him. The candidate of the government still hopes the President will eventually endorse him. “Once he has spoken about his future I have no doubt that he will become engaged in this campaign”, Nicolas Sarkozy said.

The main candidates saluted Jacques Chirac for the dignity of his resignation speech, with the exception of Jean-Marie Lepen, leader of the far-right Front National, who called him “the worst president in French history”. He continued, saying: “Chirac was the symbol of political corruption in the eyes of the entire world.”

Mr Bayrou said that he took off his hat to Mr Chirac and his manner of leaving office, despite their differences. “I thought he was very good. The way he talked was moving and he reminded us of fundamental values – that our country is not like others.”

Ségolène Royal, the Socialist presidential candidate, described Mr Chirac’s departure as an “historic moment, as a new page is turning” but said there was a “deep anger, a desparate expectation” for change that he had failed to satisfy. “One need to pass from words to acts”, she said.
