Mitterrand warned then that no state could impose its way of thinking or acting on the rest of the world solely on account of its financial power. The French president affirmed that each country's right to have its own imagination, to pass on its own identity to future generations is under threat. Focussing on the theme of the French language during the Francophone summit, he affirmed that it could no longer be said that it is the language of French people, as it has become mixed with other neighboring and friendly languages, as demonstrated by Creole for example, and for that reason its defense signifies defending a way of life, and above all, cultural pluralism. In that defense of pluralism and Francophonie itself, one important aspect is precisely the study of the language. However, in periods of intense communications development, cinema, television, radio and the Internet are essential, and U.S. power can be perceived in them.
Internet is another matter.
For experts, the most decisive aspect is to keep the French language alive, including on the network of networks, because it is the basis of Francophonie, it is what makes it possible to establish a dialogue among cultures, and a policy of cooperation in a world where globalization is more than a concept, where societies' values are made banal in favor of a neoliberal economic discourse.
