| Sažetak: | The Constitution of the Fifth Republic establishes the contract that founds liberal democracy on a requirement for openness. Openness is guaranteed against its reverse, secret, that can be justified but framed and regulated. The constitutional document does not mention another peril which is not the reverse of openness but a more pernicious poison: a state lie. Nuclear power, in particular military nuclear power, is a textbook case of the slippage from secret to lie, from the derogation of the duty of openness to the desire to deceive the public, in the name of its specificities (its destructive power), its scientific complexity (the layman can’t understand) and perhaps also its history, since France acquired the bomb at the end of a clandestine process under the Fourth Republic. |
