  1. A mintit in discurs. 🙂

  2. In any other walk of life, a conviction for negligence would result in a prison sentence, being fired, or both. But not in politics, it seems.

    Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)—the organisation that aims to promote better financial governance and economic stability around the world—was convicted by a special French court on 19 December on charges of “negligence by a person in position of public authority” while serving as French finance minister in 2007.

    Accused of allowing the misuse of public funds—rather than actual corruption—Lagarde faced the prospect of being sentenced to a year in prison and a fine of €15,000. Though found guilty, there have been no punitive measures—not even a criminal record. Lagarde has kept her job, kept her freedom, kept her money, and has largely kept her reputation intact.

    Indeed, hours after Lagarde’s conviction, the IMF’s executive board declared its “full confidence” in her, saying that it looked “forward to continuing to work with the managing director [Lagarde] to address the difficult challenges facing the global economy.”

    The French government also confirmed its confidence in Lagarde, who was reappointed to a five-year term at the IMF last February.

    Even the court went light on her, which begs the question as to why a case was even brought if there was no appetite to set any real punishment. The prosecutor described the evidence regarding Lagarde’s alleged misuse of public funds as “very weak”, adding that she was merely following the reasonable advice of her advisers, which was an error only with hindsight. It even said that her “national and international stature” needed to be taken into account.

    The case against Lagarde centered on Bernard Tapie, a former entertainer and former majority owner of sportswear company Adidas. After launching a political career and becoming a cabinet minister in Francois Mitterrand’s Socialist government in 1992, Tapie had to sell his stake in the company. However, in 1993 Tapie accused the bank in charge of the sale, Crédit Lyonnais, in which the French state had a stake at the time, of defrauding him by deliberately undervaluing the firm (the bank sold the company for €320m, but investors—which included a subsidiary of Crédit Lyonnais—immediately sold it on for €560m). Cue years of costly legal battles.

    In 2007, Lagarde—who at that time was finance minister under conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy—sent the dispute to a three-person private arbitration authority that a year later awarded Tapie €404m (U.S.$429m) in damages and interest that the French state was liable for. This included €45m for “moral damages.”

  3. Nu taiati perfuziile ca moare pacientul.

  4. Nu cresterea brusca a somajului ii doare pe ,,liderii,, ue ci miscarile sociale ce pot avea loc . Miscari sociale de amploare foarte greu de controlat , care ii pot spulbera . ,,Schemele ,, financiare se bazeaza pe imprumuturi iar banii sint rodul muncii fix al acelora care contribuie la bugete publice .

    Se intreaba vreun cetatean al planetei acesteia de ce nu are libertatea sa se pensioneze cind vrea ? De ce este tinut prin legi imbecile captiv in ,,cimpul ,, muncii pina moare pe picioare ? De ce nu sintem educati financiar din scoala in directia folosirii libertatii si responsabilitatii de a economisi / investi individual pentru un venit pe care sa il accesam atunci cind decidem sa ne retragem din activitatea profesionala ?
