Brief context explanations *

Since many months, the french government have prepared (and voted) many reforms relating to french research organism (the CNRS) and university teachers. The scientific community strongly disagree with those reforms. The 22th of january 2009, Sarkozy made an unusually aggressive and infamous speech against french researchers, during which he stated many fallacious facts to justify the reforms proposed by the government. This video is a reaction to this speech.
