Is France screwed? Condemned to decline? To always less? Obviously false. But then why is France plunged into this unprecedented depression? Why are these suburbs exploding? This unemployment that nothing can reduce? The root of the evil is in denial. The refusal of reality in which the French, politicians leading the way, have taken refuge. From Chirac to the leftists of Attac. From Villepin to Fabius. To heal France, there is only one remedy: get rid of our sacred cows by accepting the world as it is. Because France can handle the truth. Throughout her investigation, journalist Ghislaine Ottenheimer, author of "Les Frères invisibles" and "Les Intouchables", takes us behind the scenes of power, decrypts a hypocritical world, disconnected from reality. But she also tells how, here, in France, or elsewhere in Europe, those who decided to react have reconnected with success. The virtuous circle is within our reach. It's up to the French to decide. There is urgency.
