Europe 1
News . It is officially back in public life. By taking the oath, Lionel Jospin joined Tuesday the Constitutional Council, becoming the 73rd constitutional judge appointed. The former tenant of Matignon is, incidentally, the only former head of government among the active members of the Institution.
A oath in Holland. The appointment was published in the OJ on Tuesday morning, hours before his swearing at the Elysee to 18pm. A ceremony in camera, highly codified, during which the head of state Francois Hollande, who presented his wishes to the Constitutional Council, as is tradition, asked the new judge to swear on the Constitution that he will fill his duties “impartially” keep “the secret deliberations and votes’, will take” no public position “

To attend this benefit, almost all of the Constitutional Council was present, with the notable exception of former president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, who was in sick (the present three former presidents, ex officio, only VGE seat at the Palais Royal, Editor’s note). The President of the National Assembly Claude Bartolone, who had proposed the appointment of Lionel Jospin, was also present. Ironically, Christiane Taubira was also of the party. By his candidacy for the 2002 presidential election, the current Minister of Justice had, like other left, indirectly contributed to the elimination of the candidate Jospin in the first round.
An undeniable experience, but … The choice of Claude Bartolone has been validated by the December 17 Law Committee of the National Assembly. On this occasion, the rapporteur UMP Guillaume Larrivé had flattering formulas, crediting Jospin “three outstanding qualities: the experience of the state, the personal impartiality, which is a virtue, and probably fidelity to classical principles our Republic, “which is useful to a position where you have to” know moderate the heat of the majority of the time, “slipped the opposition MP. Lionel Jospin had then said unfavorable progression to the US Supreme Court and was forbidden “to conduct any political campaign” during his term.
.. .Also political issue. However, the appointment of Lionel Jospin necessarily sound like a political maneuver, with the issue of the Council’s return to the fold of the left. With the arrival of former Socialist Prime, prestigious institution has in fact four members appointed by the Left, and five by the right. With a free electron: Michel Charasse very Mitterrand, appointed by President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2010. In the majority, it is hoped that the influence of Lionel Jospin will reduce the ratio of new legislation partially or totally disabled since 2012, which currently amounts to one in two. And to avoid the repetition of hiccups such as censorship of the tax to 75% or Florange law.
In addition, the mandate of Lionel Jospin which is four years and two months (since replaces the centrist Jacques Barrot, appointed in 2010 and died suddenly on December 3) is not without possible consequence in this institution. Its president – Jean-Louis Debré, faithful Jacques Chirac that had nominated at the end of his five years – will indeed be renewed in March 2016. stature, Lionel Jospin seems destined to succeed him. But in this case, he should leave the beautiful office of the president of the Royal Palace from 2019 and not in 2025, normal expiry of any person appointed member and chairman in 2016. Where a risk to the left of losing a key position if Elysée was to change hands between time …
