1. National Identity is what differentiates us from other nations.
   It is based on a cultural and historical plinth with more than 2000 years, Graeco-roman culture and with Chr ti nne.
   History points to us out the chronology and the successive contributions which enriched it, as well as foreseeable contemporary evolution.
   The French, progressive language, is the primordial vector of our Identity. She allowed the understanding of all Frenchmen. Only the study of our History, without disavowing anything and without repentance, will allow us to support radiance of has Nation.
   The of Marseilles is a revolutionary song, the value of our nation of which words, thoughtful, show.

   I ACCUSE SARKOUZI OF SELLING FRANCE:
   The prefects of Sarkozy are going to be able to sell cathedrals

   Newspapers ( The Newspaper of Arts , " The World ", The Stand of Art ) which recall affair are rare and seem alas inaudible, since reactions are extremely less numerous; and however, the hour is serious and danger, imminent.

   In the course of the article 52 of finance act 2010 stands out apparently the destruction by the State sarkozyste of more than two centuries of protection of national heritage.

   It is indeed in 1794 when the abbot Gregory, taken in revolutionary vandalism ( I created word to kill the thing , he said), asserts the existence of a collective heritage which the Nation has as mission to protect: public respect must encircle particularly the national objects which, belonging to person, are the property of all .

   Convention decides to protect the objects which interest arts, history and education . Guizot, in 1830, creates the inspector's first post of ancient monuments, post that M rim e will occupy with passion from 1834 till 1853, laying the foundations of protection by the State of important monuments and instituting to this end the classification of buildings.

   Successive political regimes all have, since, followed this process of maintenance by the State of patrimonial writings, definition of which stretched in an exponential way in the XXth century: to the ancient buildings came to be added contemporary creations, witnesses of industrial memory, gardens and, more recently even, places of memo (wall of federated, Oradour on Gleaning). The success, which does not flag since their creation in 1984, days of heritage, manifests the membership of Frenchmen at the idea of common heritage to be protected.

   Already in 2003, Jean-Jacques Aillagon had allowed the cession of some monuments in regions with a measure of autonomy but, besides the fact that few of them had hastened to buy buildings of an often expensive maintenance, the minister of culture had then limited possibilities very precisely for the State to get rid of his heritage.

   And yet the article 52 of finance act enlarges the perimetre of monuments and transferable sites, which will not be any more limited to a list fixed by decree and will cover, from 2010, the totality of monuments belonging to the State and to all state-owned companies; besides, the State will be able to get rid now also of classified movable objects.

   It is possible, in first reading, to tell themselves that, if the State gives its heritage up to groups territorial, there is only lesser trouble; except that, law being dumb, nothing will forbid to the said groups to practice a new transfer to the advantage of a cultural firm with commercial aim, or even of an individual.

   Finally, it is essential to signal that alone the prefect will have to pronounce on cessions, Ministry of Culture, however concerned primarily, not having to be consulted.
   A part of UMP is openly delighted with it and the special reporter of the committee of finances of the Senate, Yann Gaillard, has these words which reveal logic to work: this process registers in the right line of " removal from state control of monumental heritage recommended in (a) report of 2002 on monumental heritage. Indeed, it is in the society completely that it is up to keep and to maintain heritage, State that can boast no monopoly in the field.

   This differentiation between State and society completely, signs simply the stopping of death of national patrimonial policy.

   The extreme gravity of this decision explains the anxious reaction of some deputies of right, as Nicolas Perruchot, special reporter of the committee of finances of the National Assembly, which, not wanting to oppose to liberal logic in action, offers to take a census at least , within " negative list the not transferable elements of national heritage . So, the Triumphal arch, Versailles, the Disabled persons or the Louvre (these are examples named by Nicolas Perruchot) would be declared "not transferable", but it would be very well possible to imagine that a prefect agrees to get rid of the cathedral of Chartres, the column Vend me or the bridge of Gard, or even of the Holy Mount Michel, so expensive in the middle of Nicolas Sarkozy.

   At a time when the president gargles over national identity, recalls the carnal link of Frenchmen with the earth and dead, demands a museum dedicated to national History, they see apparently that liberal logic takes him, at home as in its party, on the attachment of the Nation to its heritage, that he treats with disdain of all French tradition in this domain and that in reality his so-called attachment to our past constitutes only an electoral business.
