With Christine Lagarde, US Corporations Enter the French Government http://en.m4.cn/archives/15253.html

Unknown to the French, lawyer Christine Lagarde became the Foreign Trade Minister of the government of Dominique de Villepin. Only a few years ago, she was defending the interests of US multinationals to the detriment of French companies. Her political positions perfectly match her status as a member of the CSIS, the think tank of the oil lobby in the United States.

Christine Lagarde occupies the fifth rank in the list of European businesswomen published by the Wall Street Journal and the 76th rank in the list of the world’s most powerful women of Forbes magazine.Dazzled by such exceptional career, the French media abstained from investigating the new minister.Although this element is not included in her official biography, Mrs. Lagarde was a member of the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) [3]. She co-presided over the Action USA/UE/Poland commission of this think tank along with Zbigniew Brzezinski [4]
