France to outline blueprint plan for riot-hit suburbs Wednesday, January 23, 2008 VAULX-EN-VELIN, (AFP) - French ministers are to unveil a blueprint for tackling unemployment and discrimination in hundreds of low-income, high-immigrant suburbs that exploded into rioting in 2005. Urban Affairs Minister Fadela Amara, a women's rights activist of Algerian origin who grew up in a housing project, was to conclude four months of nationwide consultations in the Lyon suburb of Vaulx-en-Velin. The suburb plan aims to improve living conditions, education and job prospects in the low-income "banlieues", where the descendants of African and Arab immigrants say they are treated like outcasts in French society. President Nicolas Sarkozy, who promised a "Marshall Plan" to tackle the root causes of the riots during his election campaign, was reportedly disappointed with Amara's initial plan, postponing its official launch until next month. The president made his first trip to the suburbs since his election Monday night, visiting a police station in Sartrouville west of Paris and launching an ad-hoc discussion with local youths who quizzed him about jobs and training. He promised to return to Sartrouville to unveil the suburb plan's full details on February 8, promising it would include training for youths without high-school diplomas. "We won't let anyone down, on one condition: that those who have been given advice and training make the effort to get up in the morning," he told the youths. Sarkozy has said the plan would be "extremely ambitious", focussing on "people rather than places", but Amara has warned the scale of the suburbs' problems requires long-term investments and a radical shift in government policy. Sarkozy's tough line on law and order as interior minister made him a hate figure for many suburb youths, who voted massively against him last May.
