Are you crazy, we don't want him for life, 5 years it's enough !

Awesome, we have French patriots.


Liberty Guiding the People by Eugene Delacroix, 1830

Perhaps France will be saved by a new Marianne, or Joan of Arc. (You can read about the tradition of Marianne here).

Marianne is the embodiment of the French Republic. Marianne represents the permanent values that found her citizens' attachment to the Republic: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity". Employed alternately by opponents of the republican system and by its defenders, the name Marianne (Marie-Anne), popular with the working classes, is the symbol of a Republic constructed by the gradual adherence of all of its citizens to one motto. Little by little, Marianne became the most widely shared representation of the motherland, at times fiery and warlike, at times pacific and nurturing.

Maybe it's time to introduce our French friends to Amoss.

It is very interesting, but this method looks like a method used actually by a rather disreputable characters, do you understand what I mean ?
