La France en OZ Les conseillers consulaires, de nouveaux représentants pour les Français de l’étranger Le scrutin 2014 pour les Français établis hors de France comporte une nouveauté avec l’élection de nouveaux représentants : les conseillers consulaires. Avant 2012, les Français de l’étranger étaient représentés par 12 sénateurs et 155 conseillers à l’Assemblée des Français de l’étranger. Lors des élections législatives de 2012, les Français établis hors de France ont pu, pour la première fois, élire 11 députés pour les représenter à l’Assemblée nationale. A partir de 2014, l’élection des conseillers consulaires complètera la représentation des Français de l’étranger par un dispositif de proximité. Ils siègeront dans des conseils consulaires réunis sous la présidence du chef de poste diplomatique ou consulaire au moins deux fois par an, en fonction du volume de sujets à traiter. Les conseils consulaires participeront à la mise en place des politiques conduites pour les Français de l’étranger (enseignement, aides sociales, emploi et formation professionnelle, etc.). Les 443 conseillers consulaires constitueront la majeure partie du collège électoral chargé d’élire les sénateurs des Français de l’étranger Lily of the Valley a French tradition. May 1st is Labor Day in France, and is also the day where the French celebrate spring by offering small sprigs of muguet (Lilies of the Valley) as a porte bonheur (good luck charm) to those who hold a special place in their hearts.. Since May 1st is the only time of the year when people can sell flowers on the street without having to buy a permit, muguets are everywhere The scent of the muguet actually makes the rush-hour metro ride bearable.
