Édith Cresson ((:edit kʁɛsɔ̃); born Édith Campion, 27 January 1934) is a French politician. She was the first and so far only woman to have held the office of Prime Minister of France. Élisabeth Schemla in the biography, ''Édith Cresson, la femme piégée'' (1993) argues her failure and low approval ratings were largely due to the misogyny of the Socialist elites, the French political class, and the French media. Her political career later ended in scandal when she was the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Technology. == French Prime Minister == Cresson was appointed to the prime ministerial post by President François Mitterrand on 15 May 1991. She soon became strongly unpopular among the electorate and had to leave office after less than one year, following the Socialists' poor showing in 1992's regional elections. She spent the shortest time in office of any Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic so far. Her strong criticism of Japanese trade practices, going so far as to compare the Japanese to "yellow ants trying to take over the world", led some to consider her also to be a racist.〔News Week Japanese Edition, 30 May 1991〕〔The Mainichi Daily News, 21 June 1991〕〔Rone Tempest, Los Angeles Times, 23. Juli 1991: (Edith Cresson's Answer to TV Spoof: Hush Puppet!

It's different and marginal. It exists more in the Anglo-Saxon tradition than the Latin one."〔 In social policy, Cresson's government enacted the Urban Framework Act of 1991,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Policy and Regulation:- France Mega-sites )〕 which sought to ensure a “right to the city” for all citizens. The Act required “local bodies to provide living and dwelling conditions which will foster social cohesion and enable conditions of segregation to be avoided.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Page not found )〕 The Cresson Government also placed considerable emphasis during its time in office on facilitating the international competitiveness of firms with under 500 employees.〔https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:S3-AN7BXIlMJ:spe.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/spe/article/download/11467/8355+michel+rocard+continuing+education+voucher&hl=en&gl=uk&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjoPlqlNEJeAhVYWRAVI-R4XRBH-xXj54nqWYGW-q4PN98e1fRs5CU9VlZdSz-UJPLNrq54Jd7W9OeKg4AKPsEHC8F_gM2qkjcyOst4EmJ28euCvYwF_061ttxaUvfKZ5WiHzIh&sig=AHIEtbRdm2F203rHDAtukY9VfYw7Saejqg〕 A law was passed in July 1991 which included several measures aimed at improving access of people with disabilities to housing, work places, and public buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Center for International Rehabilitation - International Disability Rights Monitor (IDRM) Publications >> Disability Rights Community >> - Compendium - France )〕 Cresson is a member of the Council of Women World Leaders, an International network of current and former women presidents and prime ministers whose mission is to mobilize the highest-level women leaders globally for collective action on issues of critical importance to women and equitable development. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Édith Cresson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
