If France wants to capitalize on the positive emotions of Bastille Day, it needs much more responsible elites, ready to unite in the fight against unemployment and its causes (lack of competitiveness and labor-market rigidity) and consequences (the rise of populist, non-republican forces). What Bastille Day revealed, even briefly and superficially, is that the potential to unite France exists.
如果法国想利用巴士底日的积极情绪，就需要更负责的精英，准备着为了战胜失业及其原因（缺乏竞争力和劳动力市场僵化）和后果（民粹主义反共和势力崛起）而联合起来。巴士底日表明——尽管迹象既虚弱又肤浅——团结的法国的潜在力量是存在的。但这样做需要的不仅仅是流于表面的承诺。
