La médiation juridique en tant que stratégie argumentative contre l'euro (2002-2017)

This study aims to describe two distinct and distant periods that nevertheless retain a common argumentative point: the opposition to the single currency. On the one hand, we will study a major event for the European Union which has been both linguistic and economic-political: the choice of the name of the single currency, euro. On the other hand, we will look at the contemporary debate on the euro and, more generally, on the willingness of certain Eurosceptic parties to exit or change the current structure of monetary Europe.Among the many argumentative strategies mobilized by the detractors considered, we emphasized that the official discourse of European treaties is mobilized as a discursive leverage for electoral purposes. In other words, the past and contemporary detractors of the euro communicate to their constituents that there is a legal means to stop the establishment of the euro and the economic power of Europe that guides the European Union To the detriment of the national sovereignty of France. The intentional act of explaining certain passages concerning the euro requires "terminological subtleties" whose understanding is at least delicate. It is precisely around these terminological nodes that the politically oriented popularization of the detractors of the euro is the most persuasive.
