I intervened in the afternoon in General Debate on the Budget of Higher education for 2009. The AFP besides took back some of my purposes in the report which was made of this budgetary debate:
The deputies adopted on Monday the budget of Higher education and of Research, (24,16 thousand million euro), while a hundred of researchers demonstrated outside to report " a deficient budget " and falls of jobs.


Considered as "audacious and ambitious" by the minister Val rie P cresse, this budget is in 720 million euro increase (23,4 in 2008).
It returns to a +2,9 % increase (and if interdepartmental missions, +758 M are counted, they are +3,2 %). In all, budgetary and tax means will advance of 6,9 % in 2009 and, besides, almost 18 % over period 2009-2011 , assured the minister.
It is a question of making some knowledge the pillar of growth and of development of our country , she noted by reminding of the purposes of the president Nicolas Sarkozy. Research, innovation, training, these are jobs of tomorrow, therefore a weapon anti-crisis , has still reasserted Mrs P cresse.
Opposition, with JEAN-YVES LE D AUT (PS) and Yves Cochet (Environmentalists) reported a "made up " budget which translates in reality a "decline" of credits and abolitions of posts . The budget indeed envisages a non-renewal of 900 posts, among which about 250 in higher education.
This reduction of posts, estimated R GIS JUANICO (PS), represents a negative signal for Universities . As for Mrs Marietta Karamanli (PS), she maintained that this budget marked an underestimation of public research .
The budgetary means allocated in public research would advance of 243 million euro in 2009 for which it is necessary to add 122,5 million euro of savings on some devices in favour of private research , according to the bill of finances.
Outside the Palace Bourbon, a hundred of researchers and of teachers had gathered on the appeal of their labour unions (Snesup, Unef) to report the budget introduced by the government. Let us save the University , claimed a streamer.
