“Preparing the future of the next generation and not passing our debts and our problems onto them”; “contributing to the building of a Europe of social cohesion”; “receiving immigrants with dignity”; “making the joint development of the African emigrants’ countries a priority of the aid policies”; “meeting financial commitments towards the poor countries”. As to the proposal about establishing a compulsory civil service in France as well, Jean-Baptiste de Foucauld, president of many associations (including "New solidarity against unemployment”), specified that it "should also be extended to adults, maybe by putting them at the service of the community the first year after retirement”. According to de Foucald, the priority is "going back to a state of full employment, the prerequisite for a fairer society”. In his opinion, a "French way" should be outlined that is, "nether the Scandinavian model nor the liberal model” for "high-quality, full employment" with "consistent, long-term programs”, which should also include "the promotion of ‘chosen time’ and the reduction of ‘suffered time’; the job-seekers’ right to support and to long-lasting policies; the multiplication and improvement of careers”. “We have to fight unemployment all together he concluded regardless of political alignments and election winners”.
