Response to "is this true?" in the history page.
Yes, the Trotskyist past is true, as is Jospin having lied about it. See these pieces from the [BBC], [BusinessWeek], and [The Times of London].
Also, if you can read French, the French Wikipedia article on Jospin covers this topic as well.
I welcome efforts to integrate this information better into the article, but I thought its length was too great and would take up too much space in the main article.
Another problem is there's no page for the OIC in English Wikipedia, thought there is in French.
- I linked to the PT (the current incarnation of the OIC). David.Monniaux 08:42, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Finally, any thoughts on whether these sources should be somehow cited / linked in the article? LeoO3 06:27, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I tried to NPOV the point about Jospin's Trotskite past (especially the speculation that the French public may be more tolerant of politicians' lies and dubious past than other countries such as the US etc.). As everybody knows, the end of the 60's and the early 70's were an era of considerable political experimentation. Many of today's mainstream politicians were in radical groups, and many later feld duly ashamed of some of their actions back then. David.Monniaux 08:42, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This article is not very NPOV... The bit about Madelin regarding his past may appear amusing, as his name cannot be mentioned without someone making a reference to this (cf his treatment on wikipedia). Jospin was simply luckier.
A mention of the absence of ministers from the ethnic minorities in Jospin's government has been deleted----Clive Sweeting

[edit] Quotes around dictatorship of the proletariat
I have edited out the quotes around the term dictatorship of the proletariat. I see no real reason why they should be there? It is a more or less accepted Marxist term and Jospin claims to have been a Marxist/Trotskyist. -CasualEditor 03:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mireille Jospin
Should his mother Mireille be noted?
[edit] Stoned
Shouldn't the Bir-zait incident be mentioned here, i mean its not every day that you see a french MP chased around by angry colledge students

[edit] about unemployement
Article says :"During his term, with the help of a favorable economic situation, unemployment fell by 900,000"
Actually, there are debates about the role played by Jospin's politics in this favorable economic situation (the fact it helped french growth). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.210.147.64 (talk) 21:37, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] French Reformed or Atheist ?
Other sources and I think Wikipedia itself show him as an atheist. He´s definetely from French Reformed origin, but he still follows that faith ?81.193.215.37 (talk) 03:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'm reasonably sure that he does not. 137.122.30.88 (talk) 18:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
He does not practice any faith but remains very faithful to his Huguenot origins[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.140.20.72 (talk) 08:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
