FRENCH PEOPLE LEAVE DEFINITELY FRANCE... NOT JUST RICH AND FAMOUS !

USPA NEWS - More and more anonymous people leave the country. Entrepreneurs, scientists, newly qualified young men and women... They just want to leave FRANCE.
Why not just the elite as everyone could suspect (right or wrong ?) ?

Since the worldwide crisis, everyone in Europe face pessimism on a long term, including in France. This is the general feeling crossing minds expressed verbally until the occasion arises to leave simply with one way ticket. For a while, it was just accross the border, the «neighbours» in a way and now the hopes left Europe to wish for a better life as far as possible from Home. No matter where sometimes as long as the incomes follow. This issue came back in the media as a priority since the mediatization of Gerard Depardieu (famous french actor) claiming that he had enough of France and wanting to become a russian citizen.

Already, and since a long time, CEO's and celebrities were leaving discreetly or not the country for, as we can guess financial reasons. The hypocrisy of these wealthy people was up to saying they love France and were proud of their french citizenship. Gerard Depardieu put an end on it in a loud and stubborn way. And this, split the country into two : the pors and the cons... as if life was resumed by taking one of those two strong sides. Recently, a couple of entrepreneurs sent an open letter via Internet provoking a huge buzz, people aggreeing and thousands liked the « heartbreaking letter » on facebook.

The letter was simply saying how hard it was to keep going on a small business when public administration is « not » helping, when facing people's jealouzy, hardly being able to stand foreign competition... It provoked numerous comments on Internet going from strong approvals to criticism of french self-hate attitude. In fact, at the end, the question was why the national feeling of pride seemed to be fading away, touching all social levels. We do not know exactly how many already left the country, every «expert» having his/her own proper theory ! Actually, noone can measure the growth of this phenomenom but the informations go the same way : more or less.

In conclusion, two reasons for emigrating were discussed in mainstream media : the heavy administrative paper work imposed to start ups and in general to companies. The second reason given is the weight of workforce costs in the running of a company.
Anyway, the general feeling is that «everything is happening elsewhere». Up to the teenagers admitting their intention to go abroad continuying their studies or simply starting their working experience in better conditions. Those new expats leave to find a first job, some better perspectives of qualified and rewarding jobs, to discover a new culture, to practice a new language and learn a different way of life...

It seems that more and more people want to excape the moroseness of everyday's life and not to be part of the actual colossal unemployment rate.
We can deplore the departure of wonderful talents, the loss of french savoir-faire, France shoudn't be becoming a big old people's home. It is believed that one young person (18 to 24 years old) wish to leave the country when possible. We can even classify some destinations : Geneva is said to be an asylum land, Canada to propose better perspectives of work, Los Angeles represents the American Dream, Dubaï is the new paradise to escape the Inland Revenue...

One thing is for sure, there is no age to go elsewhere for a better life. Even retired people wish to enjoy what is left to them under the sun, in a calm atmosphere and with reasonable financial means. We can critisize people's point of view, nevertheless it became a reality that Europe does not make non-westerners dream anymore. Wanting to escape poverty of their country, they understand that their life will still be miserable. They will just struggle in a different way ! Is it be considered as a dream for immigrants ? The answer is NO but they have NO choice.

Now, the majority comes to Europe full of anger or despear because of the extremely violent conflicts going on in their mother country they love. Because of poverty or conflicts, the result is the same, french people leaving or illegals/immigrants coming, everyone seem definitely not satisfied and very pessimistic regarding the world's futur in their homeland.
