...tic service and as Minister of the Interior enabled him to confront the issues of the underlying aggression in the French suburbs leading him onto dealing with the battles of Africa and the Middle East. Not deterred by the level of conflict or popularity aspects he used such strategies as calling a state of emergency in 2005 to deal with some of the problems faced by France at such time. He was a champion for the people working to provide solutions for unemployment realising a reduction of approximately 20 % in this during his time in office.
Coming from outside of France having been born in North Africa and spending his early years in South America enabled him to have a wider perspective on both continents with an ideal to promote further understanding and develop a unity between the two. An active writer he expanded on his ideas for a vision of man in a diverse environment searching for solutions to maintain cultural identities within a common ground.
A man with vision he can bring not just experience but thoughts for the future from a context of intense thought and deliberation.
Prime Minister de Villepin speaks French, English and Spanish.
