International policy

An asserted Atlanticism

Atlantic and Pro-American, very marked by the Attacks of September 11th, 2001, Pierre Lellouche gives his support in 2003 to the Politique of preventive Guerre in Iraq carried out by the government of the the United States of America of the president George W Bush although he preferred that the United States finishes what they started in Afghanistan . By doing this, it then disputes the position, that it considers anti-American, of the president of the French Republic Jacques Chirac and its Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin which are opposed to all military action in Iraq before the U.N. inspections showed the persistence of the existence of massive weapons of destruction in this country. If Jacques Chirac is supported by the majority of the political community and the French public opinion, several French personalities share the point of view of Pierre Lellouche, in particular the politicians Alain Madelin and Bernard Kouchner, the Intellectuel S André Glucksmann, Alexandre Adler or Pascal Bruckner, the professors of universities Yves Roucaute, Guy Millière or Jean-Claude Casanova, the researcher Dominique Moïsi, of the writers like Romain Goupil while other personalities like Nicole Bacharan or André Kaspi university specialists in the United States denounce, from their point of view, the Anti-Americanism of principle or the absence of counter-proposals.

Joint author in 2000 of an information paper on the proliferation of the weapons of massive destruction in which he recalled the massacre of the Kurds to Halabja in 1988 with the assistances of weapons of massive destruction by the troops of Saddam Hussein, Pierre Lellouche justifies his approval of an military intervention preventive and concerted between the European United States and his allies in a leading article Co-writing with Doug Berreter published on Internet site of NATO, the February 21st 2003. Recognizing that France defends the idea that under the current conditions such a war would be heavy dangers even more serious to the long-term stability of the international order , he calls some with a Franco-American initiative on Iraq, also regretting that Saddam Hussein could divide the transatlantic allies . It specifies Whereas we share the same objective - which appears expressly in the Resolution 1441 - to eliminate stocks from Armes of massive destruction of which we know that they are in possession of the Iraqi mode since 1998, a ditch did not cease growing hollow these last weeks between us, as for the means to implement to achieve this goal ”. “ the idea according to which " a camp of the guerre" would fight in our center " a camp of the paix" is a nonsense. It with what we must face is an international situation complex and dangerous, who results from the rise of the Terrorisme and the proliferation of the weapons of massive destruction .

If Pierre Lellocuhe considers it regrettable that the question of the Human rights in Iraq was neglected with the profit of its disarmament, its approval of an intervention in fine to reverse the Iraqi Dictateur, in the hope which Iraq is a lever of Démocratie for the whole of the Close relation and the the Middle East brave man a French and European public opinion whose opposition to the war was animated of some Pacifisme but also often poked by a Anti-américanisme without precedent. It will be worth in Pierre Lellouche to be dedicated to the gémonies, particulièment by a classically anti-American Extreme-left and by a Extrême right-hand side Antisémite or Souverainiste treating it all at the same time néo-conservative, of " vassal of the empire malfaisant" or of " Bushiste" (in the pejorative direction).

Following the fall of Saddam Hussein in April 2003, the investigations carried out by the American troops do not confirm the information collected before the war on the revival of the program of nuclear armament and on the possession of bacteriological or chemical massive weapons of destruction. If it is confirmed that null proof does not exist of a bond between the former dictator and the terrorists of Al Qaeda, the financing which it had granted the families of the Kamikaze S Palestinian S ends.

Regretting the attitude of France which did not prevent the war but did not contribute to the bursting of the European face , it is also very critical of the management of the post-war period carried out by the US government, in particular for its incapacity to ensure the safety of Iraqi, while being pleased with the installation of a Parliament and a government elected for the first time at the Vote for all.

At the time of the American presidential elections of November 2004, Pierre Lellouche gives an opinion in favor of John Kerry, democratic candidate with the presidency against George W. Bush, convinced that would improve the Franco-American relations in the presentation, in the style, while doubting a reversal of the American doctrines or the end of its distrust towards the international organizations.

In September 2006, it assisted with go to the White House between the president of UMP and Minister of Interior Department, Nicolas Sarkozy and George W. Bush US president.

It is in this function that it intervenes with the Turkey with which it requires to recognize the Armenian genocide requiring at the same time of the latter " to solve its problems of human rights and to settle the question of Cyprus " .

It is with this function that he condemns finally the remarks anti-semites held by the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad which questioned the width of the Holocauste.

At the time of its last speech like chair of the Parliament the November 15th 2006, it declares itself anxious on becoming to it Atlantic Alliance that she is political or soldier, regretting the court-circuitage unilateral of this one by the United States in its response with the attacks of September 11th and of unilateral budgetary disarmament of many European countries , doubting the perenniality of the European pillar of Alliance.

A lawyer of the State of Israel and a partisan of the entry of Turkey in the European Union

Taxation

Pierre Lellouche is a partisan of the abolition of the STF, which he regards as an unjust tax based on the only inheritance and not the incomes (which leads thus certain inhabitants of the Ile de Ré, victims of the flight of the prices of land, with being indebted of this tax whereas real larger fortunes had, they, the means of expatrier in Belgium or Suisse). In September and October 2005, it tries without success to make reform the STF and launches a petition to exonerate the principal residence of the STF whose principal recipients could in particular have been a hundred thousands of Parisian owners (of which several thousands of voters of 8th and 9th district) and peasants of the Ile de Ré (the aforementioned " syndrome of the island of Ré" qualify this situation). Thus, during the parliamentary discussion, he declares that “in Paris and in Ile-de-France, where reside half of the taxable people at the STF, the average families are taken out of vice, because of freezing of land constructible, of the speculation, and also of the policy of the Town of Paris which preempts the buildings occupied to convert them into social housing. The result, it is that these families must leave Paris as of the second child. (…) The number of taxable people does not cease increasing in the lowest sections, parallel to the rise in the prices of the real estate. In Paris, those have increased by 50% for 5 years, even by 70% in certain districts, and, on average, of 90% for ten years. Under these conditions, with one three parts, one is fixed with the STF! (…). It is the case of these small pensioners, tallies to him, it liberal nurse, who worked hard to acquire a small inheritance and are now fixed with the STF” .
