1.3 Stakes
The Declaration of general policy is carrying stakes of being
able, representation and communication.
1.3.1 Stakes of
communication :
The Declaration of general policy is carrying stakes of
communication insofar as it is the occasion of exchanges between the Executive
and the Legislature. By allowing a debate between these two Institutions, it is
the occasion of an implementation, at the same time of the communication
Gouvernementale, and Parlementaire communication. Each one of these two
Institutions benefits from the occasion to convey its identity, to show its
vitality, and to affirm its importance. It allows, moreover, with the
Government, to decline, for the citizens, his vision political and its economic
and social program.
In addition, the Declaration of general policy is the
occasion, for the Prime Minister, as a political leader, to gain of visibility
and in notoriety. In the same way, it takes part to legitimate the French
National Assembly by showing with all the citizens his strategic importance, in
what it is the authority of validation and confirmation of the presidential
capacity. It gives also the opportunity, with each political party and each
deputy, to make watch of its knowledge and its know-how to the service of the
People.
1.3.2 Stakes of
representation
Concept of representation is carrying three
directions : institutional, esthetic and diplomatic.
The diplomatic direction of the representation refers to the
exchange of diplomats, representatives between the States. The esthetic
direction of the representation returns to ritual put in scene by the City, and
by which it gives to see its own identity : celebrates, spectacle or
ceremonials, through which the fundamental values of a company are put in scene
and are represented in a ludic and shifted way.
The institutional direction evokes political dimension in the
sense that the French National Assembly functions like a digest of the Nation,
that it incarnates, and of which it is at the same time the emanation and the
image. Consequently, its socializing function is included/understood, by the
institution of rites and ceremonials, which take part in the process of
socialization and construction of the identity citizen in any Democracy. Thus
she wants to be the window and matérialisation of a plural but organized
and organized company. The debates which have course there, between its members
or it and the other capacities, take part of matérialisation and the
celebration of the democratic ideal by the means it capacity pertaining to the
people which delegate the prerogatives of them to those that he estimates
worthy to represent it, as well as famous the republican principle consigned to
the article first of the Constitution : « Government of the
people by the people and for the people ». Moreover, the Prime
Minister Idrissa Seck, with starts of his address, corroborates this
established fact :
Mr. President of the French National Assembly, Honourable
Deputies, the People, sovereign in his decisions, assigned you the mission of
being the honoured medium by which I present to him humbly, today, my roadmap
having to lead to the effective assumption of responsibility of its waitings...
(Seck 2003 : 5)
Consequently, the Declaration of general policy integrates the
register of the solemn rites which make it possible to vivify the concept of
Representative democracy. And this, more especially as the conditions of its
occurred (appointment of a new Prime Minister), make of it an indicator of
rupture in what it proves the end of a political sequence and the advent of
another.
