theory: the UMP is asked to move to the practice of "diversity." In other words, to make room for visible minorities, including women and disabled in the camera as Party as voters. Nicolas Sarkozy has revived the subject on 17 December, in a speech at the cole . The same day he had appointed the contractor Yazid Sabeg Commissioner Diversity and Equal Opportunities. Sabeg must submit its proposals in late March, but the president has asked his lieutenants to anticipate its findings.

Since the leaders of the majority and the government compete zeal. The prize goes to the president of the UMP group in the Assembly Jean-Franois Cope, who had invited Yazid Sabeg December 5, before his appointment, at a symposium entitled: "Liberty, equality, diversity." Budget Minister Eric Woerth arrives second. With the same Yazid Sabeg, he spent half a day, Tuesday, to verify that the "Charter for the promotion of equal opportunities and diversity in public service," signed on December 2 with Halde (High Authority against Discrimination and for Equality), began to be applied on the ground. Woerth visited the Institute of Directors of Lille to meet with students in the promotion-Aim Csaire, who has finished his preparation in July. Experience, particularly from the standpoint of 'diversity' social, thanks to the specific allocation for Equal Opportunity, a French "ethnic" of over 50 who had found six months SDF has been able to resume studies, with the hope of a successful entry into the terminal.

"tend towards gender

Eric Woerth is also installing a Advisory Committee on Diversity at Bercy and will meet the 169 schools in the public service to encourage them to "end the academism pompous" in the competition, diversify the channels of recruitment and multiply integrated preparatory classes. "The idea is not to remove the selection, or to create two types of competition, but to retain the candidates who have qualified for the functions they wish to exercise," says Eric Woerth.

Xavier Bertrand, who must complete the organization of management Monday, hopes, according to his entourage, "towards gender equality". Regarding ethnic minorities, the goal is less ambitious, but Courtial, Secretary National Federations, received two months ago to Nicolas Sarkozy the instruction to "find local leaders who embody France's hot." Courtial promises that "seven or eight departmental secretaries minority will soon be appointed in areas where we do not attend." He is particularly proud of having found a young woman immigrant in Mayenne and Antilleans in Nivre.
