Valls, his phrases that have contorted the left – the Point

“UNLOCK” THE 35-HOUR

“Yes, we will have to unlock the 35 hours that did not already exist more actually since they have been challenged progressively since 2002.

“we need to finish with the left, backward-looking, the one that attaches to a past gone and nostalgic, haunted by the superego, a marxist and by the memory of the Thirty Glorious years” (interview to “The Obs”, the 22/10/2014)

“I can EXPLAIN That A LITTLE WANT to APOLOGIZE”

“For those enemies who prey on their fellow countrymen, tearing the contract that unites us, there can be no explanation that is good enough. As explain, this is already wanting a little excuse” (in a tribute to the victims of the bombing jihadist and anti-semitic of the Hyper Hide in Paris, 09/01/2016)
