<- Hard dé e: 0.020456075668335 sec -> Great drama in the Luxembourg Palace. While a tight confrontation is coming between Jean-Pierre Raffarin and Gérard Larcher, there is ultimately no match. Senator Yvelines was named the UMP candidate for the presidency of the Senate in the first round of the inner primary to the group, by 80 votes against 56 for his opponent of Vienna and 7 to the outsider of the Oise Philippe Marini.
Given the balance of power in the Upper House after Sunday’s elections-with some 150 senators while the absolute majority is 175, the UMP is the most important-and Gérard Larcher is almost guaranteed to become chairman of the Senate Wednesday, a position he held from 2008 to 2011 at the time, he had topped Jean-Pierre Raffarin to post.
He wants a “constructive opposition”
The defeat of former Prime Minister sounds like a setback for Nicolas Sarkozy, who had bet on the latter. Jean-Pierre Raffarin also promised before the vote closed his peers to chair a Senate “which prepares an alternation.” Alas, the former president, who is running for the presidency of the UMP led by the Presidential 2017, must reckon with the filloniste Larcher.
It is “a vote for or against a Senate serving as stepping back from Nicolas Sarkozy,” analyzed one expert group in our columns on Tuesday morning. After a “fair and democratic competition,” according to the winner, the response of UMP senators could not be clearer. To the point that some, like Bruno Retailleau, presidential candidate of the UMP, see it as the work of “false friends who do it (note: Jean-Pierre Raffarin) have done a disservice by making it appear as close to Nicolas Sarkozy. ” “From intox” slice Philippe Marini.
Gérard Larcher, he wants a “constructive opposition Senate.” “The Senate must also apply to the country, because the country is wrong,” warned Gerard Larcher, who is likely (see box below) to be offered a new forum tomorrow.

The Gérard Larcher election to the presidency of the Senate seems to be no doubt. However Senator Yvelines will face several candidates Wednesday in plenary. Didier Guillaume, President of the Socialist Group, François Zocchetto, President of UDI-UC group, Jean-Vincent Place, president of the environmental group, and Eliane Assassi, the only woman candidate, President of the Communist group, are also nominated.
