What's going on with all the riots in France? What's a CPE?

A CPE (Contrat Première Embauche) is a "first employement contract". It can be sign by any person who never worked before and is under 26 years old.\n\nThis is a contract leading to a CDI (Contrat à Durée Indéterminée - Unknown end date contrat, meaning a safe contract, people can have credit, buy a house etc.). But to get the CDI, you had to work for 24 months (2 years then during the riots became 1 year) under the CPE conditions.\n\nOne of the worst conditions was that you could be fired at anytime during those 24 months without having a single explanation.\n\nAka, you could have been fired after :\n- 4 months\n- or one week\n- or 45 minutes\n- or 23 months and 30 days\nwithout any explanation.\n\nThis could lead bosses to promise a long contract when they only intended to keep someone a few days... The government thought that a person just out of school/university could have been willing to work no matter what, only it didn't work this way, the students in university and still in high schools fought against this contract and eventually got it forgotten.\n\nThis had nothing to do about the wages but they were asked to accept any job, to accept to move anywhere in France but yet with this kind of contract couldn't ask for a car credit at the bank or even buy furniture in 3 times at Ikea (cause Ikea is asking for a CDI, as well as all the banks and selling companies).\n\nAlso this has nothing to do about job for life or being lazy, no job is safe anymore, French know that.\n\nWhen the bank conditions, the job market conditions will change then the young will be able to accept this kind of contract. There are many things to change before getting this kind of contract accepted.

The worrying thing is that this has actually happened - some numbskulls on a council estate attacked the home of a female paediatrician.\n\nMakes you despair of this country, doesn't it?\n\nYou know what - I actually feel EMBARRASSED for the twats that took this seriously. Wake up to yourselves, FOOLS!

Oui, c'est fortement possible. En tout cas, en France, il paraît qu'on vas bientôt instaurer des quotas de joueurs blancs. Car le racisme pro- noir (genre tribu ka, anti leucoderme) ne marche pas bcp.

Immigration.\n\nIf you go to the bbc news website and search for 'muslims in europe' they have a whole article talking about immigration from the former french colonies, and how these people have become isolated from the wider french society - forming muslim ghettos.\n\nIts very topical and interesting - plus all you have to do is rip-off the bbc's article if you wanted to!

La france a perdu ses valeurs qu'elle avait jadis, et c'est bien dommage. En ce moment, beaucoup sont feignant et les vacances arrivent ! lol ! Non mais plus personne ne travaille et la délinquance est tres importante. On ne peut plus vraiment parler comme avant, tout pouvoir se dire, maintenant chaque phrase est percue comme : raciste, antisociale,  antidémocratique ... Moi je souhaite revenir au temps d'avant : Toute la ville se rassemble autour d'un bon feu et discute s'amuse, se raconte les histoire de la seconde guerre mondiale, et meme de la 1ere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! enfin Je suohaite que les français assument leurs origines: nous sommes pratiquement tous issus de la religion chrétienne , catholique. Je ne suis pas chrétien pratiquant mais je suis croyant face aux valeurs morales qu'elle incarne.

Too right there would be more of a hoo ha!\nThe problem seems to stem from an area in Glasgow called Pollokshields in which there seems to have developed a Pakistani Ghetto.\n\nThis ghetto area is effectively a no-go area for Whites. According to police chief on channel 4 news his officers "pussyfoot" around this area afraid to challenge individuals in case a riot is caused.\nLocal youths and older criminals play the "race card" to effectively raise themselves above the law.\nUnfortunately for the vast majority of peaceful asians living in Glasgow there may be repercussions for the murder of a 15yr old by three grown men.\n\nIf we live in a tolerant and equal society all citizens must be treated equally. This is obviously not the case in parts of Pollokshields Glasgow. No one should be above the law.\n\nIn my mind the fact that the three of them fled the country to escape justice is an admission of guilt.\nThankfully the authorities in Pakistan returned the Murderers to Britain to face court.\n\nJustice Has been Done!

Go to WaltDisney.com and get their history. Then do a search for articles on the troubles they had getting started in France (Paris is a city, not a country) and Japan.

Bonjour Steve,\n\nPour le moment c'est un peu le statut quo : rien n'a changé. La plupart des coureurs incriminés avant le départ du Tour à Strasbourg n'ont pas été poursuivi : leurs fédérations ont classé les dossiers sans suite faute de nouveaux éléments irréfutables au dossier. C'est par exemple le cas de Botero ou de Basso.\n\nCertains des coureurs incriminés, on ainsi retrouvé des équipes : Basso, Contador et Paulinho à la Discovery, Ullrich en contacts avancés avec Tinkoff (quelque chose a été signé?), Botero chez Orbitel, Bernabeu dans la nouvelle équipe espagnole ... D'autres ont du mal à retrouver une équipe : Beloki, les frères Osa, Plaza, Mancebo ...\n\nManolo Saiz et lui pour le moment à l'écart du peloton. Mais comme il possède une licence Pro Tour et a encore des coureurs sous contrat (les ex de la Liberty Seguros), il y a quelques problèmes pour le mettre définitivement hors jeu.\n\nNéanmoins, pour finir sur une lueur d'espoir, les équipes semblent réagir suite à cette affaire : plusieurs ont imposé à leurs coureurs des tests ADN, d'autres se refusent de recruter des coureurs impliqués ...

Nothing, because nothing ever happens. Nobody will riot because everyone is scared. Maybe just a few teens will get thrown in prison for rioting but nothing major.

Sadly, nothing appears to be wrong.\nAs of 12:34 EST\n""Senate Sergeant at Arms Bill Pickle told Reuters there were no reports of any arrests or injuries though several ambulances were brought to the scene.\n\n"We have been told by staff of shots fired and the smell of smoke," Pickle said. He later raised the possibility that a firecracker might have been the cause.""\nThey are still under lockdown, but searches have turned up nothing.

There aren't "rebels", in the sense of an armed revolt, in France.  There are sizeable number of people protesting the new employment law, the "First Employment Contract", pushed through by PM Villepin.  The FEC creates a two year probationary period under which employers have much more leeway to fire workers who aren't performing satisfactorily, a dramatic step in a country where guaranteed employment, a 35 hour work week, and generous vacation are the norm.  France currently has an unemployment rate above 10%, and the aim of the law is to reduce that by giving employers more freedom in hiring and firing, which should lead to a net increase in hiring.

He was elected but has not taken office yet...\nAs for the situation, same old, same old, violent crimes, kidnappings (in the capital at least), corruption, misery, hunger....\nThere will be run offs for the legislative elections in April and Preval is not assured that he will have a majority in the parliament.
