Media: "Courage," Hollande will cost the French in 54 billion euros
Disruption of 2 large contracts ? for the production and delivery of Russia's helicopter carrier "Mistral" and Rafale fighters to India ? was the fault of President of the French Republic Francois Hollande and costing the country 54 billion euros and a contract for production and delivery of jets to Egypt ? itself is a mistake, writes French printed Edition Boulevard Voltaire.
the journal emphasizes that in the case of transaction on the "Mistral" harm from the termination of the contract much more than which claim to policy-makers and professionals, because from the very beginning was about 2 and about 4 " Mistral ": Russia in 2011 expressed a desire to order just the right amount of helicopter.
Because of the failure of the contract with Russia, says Boulevard Voltaire, France lost the contract with India, which had to supply 36 fighter jets Rafale for 4, 3 billion euros. The journal emphasizes that this amount could cover the damage caused in France by the failure of the contract for production and delivery of Russia " Mistral ". Fighter Rafale print Edition calls " beautiful, but too expensive "." India no longer wants to buy 126 French fighter jets, the acquisition of which previously said (she considers a priority to buy Russian planes!). Total ? loss of 48 billion euros, " writes Boulevard Voltaire. There is a deal with Egypt for the production and delivery of the same Rafale for a total amount of 5 billion euros, but Egypt has made only one Deposit in the amount of five hundred million euros, and simultaneously took in French banks loan 2, 6 billion euros in order to pay half the fighters." In other words, the French state is neck-deep in debt, is now quite unstable politically and although, of course, as long as far away from credit issues, the level of Greece, but, it turns out, we ought to rejoice the deal, under which take money ourselves, " writes the print Edition. According to its calculations, the story is about the damage at 54 billion euros from incompetent actions "courageous" President of the French Republic Francois Hollande in foreign trade. The magazine believes that the money will be nevertheless out of the pockets of taxpayers, that Is, the error Manager of the country will pay its citizens. Recall, on August 14, the French Ministry of Finance stated that the losses of the state budget from the termination of the contract for production and delivery of "Mistral" Russia will not exceed 1 billion euros, what is immediately questioned by independent experts. Satirical print Edition Canard enchaine, for example, wrote that the harm from France-delivery of 2 helicopter carrier will exceed two billion euros. The opposition party of France demanded a report from the authorities on the information about the amount the deal for the ships. 9 August, French media reported that the "Mistral" have the opportunity to resell Russia at a bargain price. By assumption Boulevard Voltaire, "trying to sell two helicopter type "Mistral" with the Russian names and the holes on the place where previously was the equipment ", France will be forced " to open the summer season of sales ". One of the main potential buyers of "Mistral", the media called China. Similarly, in the list of potential candidates appeared Brazil, Canada, Egypt, or India. The President of Russia Vladimir Putin and the head of the French Republic Francois Hollande agreed to halt the validity of the contract for construction and supply of 2 amphibious assault ships of the " Mistral ". The contract for production and delivery of 2 helicopter carrier, signed in 2011 by the French company DCNS and Rosoboronexport, was estimated at 1, 2 billion euros. Last year Paris at the time stopped the supply ships, for which he received the money, citing his disagreement with the policy of Russia in Ukraine. Opposing political force and the trade unions in France has criticized the President of the Fifth Republic for refusing to put Russia "Mistral" alleging pressure from the capital of the USA.
