French Communist Party calls on interior minister to resign

PARIS, Nov. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- The French Communist Party (PCF) called for the resignation of Nicolas Sarkozy from the post of French Interior Minister on Friday, saying his policy is "a total failure".

"Nicolas Sarkozy should resign from his post," said the PCF in a statement.

"The interior minister's policy, recycling ideas of the far-right is more than a total failure: it stirs all the tensions and generates the results strictly contrary to what it pretends to obtain," said the PCF led by Marie-George Buffet.

The PCF also called on the French government to recognize its failure in public and decide a radical change of its public security policy.

The riots began Thursday and Friday night in Clichy-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), home to immigrants often from Muslim North Africa in northeast Paris, where two local teenagers, Ziad, 17, and Banou, 15, were accidentally electrocuted Thursday while they were running away from police.

The violence has kept on spreading each night, eventually to areas surrounding Paris before flaring up also in Marseille, Dijonand in Normandy -- and even in central parts of the capital itself.

Over 1,000 vehicles were torched and more than 200 people arrested amid fears that the country's racial and social divisions were fueling the violence, the worst seen since a 1968 student revolt.

Communsim has been a "total failure" ever since it was first invented.

The interior minister should tell this commie pillow biters to shove it.

I must admit that while I am sorry about the injuries, deaths and property damage I find myself enjoying this a little too much. The French so throughly deserve this it's as if God is getting them. I hope it ends as well as possible for everyone over there, meantime, pass the popcorn.

We talk a lot about the 'RATS being in total meltdown but I believe it is a lot bigger than that. The whole global Communist community seems to be showing signs of desparation and are becoming very vocal as a result.

A Communist is claiming somebody's policies are a total failure?

Have they no mirrors in France?

I think the Communists are correct here.Unlimited immigration...immediate,full,citizenship...and 50,000 Euros per year paid to all of the new Frenchmen.

That should make for a lot of fun throughout the EU,given the freedom of residence all French citizens have within the EU!

I feel the same way, except that the secularist agenda here in the U.S. is moving us towards the same fate. We can't be too glib becasue it is wrong morally and we are not immune.

How incredibly short sighted.....

The Communists should be supporting this effort
Islam, I suspect, is absolutely intolerant
of the precepts of Communism

Who needs mirrors if you don't bathe, shave, or brush your teeth?

Villepin will be happy about this. There is a separate issue of the competition between Sarkozy and Villepin about the run up to the next French Presidential election. If Sarkozy can be weakened or eliminated, Villepin will view this as a plus, particularly if his fingerprints are not on the dirty deed.

The only difference, as far as I see, is that their Commies have the balls to call themselves Commies.

Right on schedule. Islamofascists and Communists (along with not a few Democrats) can be counted on to jump in as if on cue when there's chaos and scream for their people to be put in power. If they can be the ones causing the chaos, all the better.
