WHICH BANK WILL BE FIRST FOR THE BIG SALE?
In France a great debate is raging. Which companies and banks, nationalized in 1981 when the Socialist Party came to power, should be de-nationalized.
For the Socialist government led by premier Laurent Fabius the writing is on the wall. Few forecasters predict they will hold on to power after the general election in March 1986. The election is likely to leave socialist president Francois Mitterrand in glorious isolation at the Elysee Palace, with a Gaullist or conservative government beneath him.
In anticipation of this, right-wing politicians are already drafting a denationalization programme.
