The results of the second round of the departmental elections, concluded Sunday, March 29 with a victory over the right, have a particular taste for Georges Tron: that of revenge. Re-elected in his own township, UMP mayor of Draveil welcomed “one of his greatest victories” . And even if others Essonne UMP refuse it running for president of the department, the former minister still decided to run for the position. Once again, the one who was able to navigate between Jacques Chirac, Edouard Balladur, Dominique de Villepin and Nicolas Sarkozy, refuses to throw in the towel face rape charges against him since 2011.
While the Supreme Court must decide, Wednesday, April 1, if the mayor of Draveil, which received a dismissal at trial in 2013, must be judged on appeal, FranceTV info examines the trouble, less known, which have marked the career of this survivor policy.
The first time the name of Georges Tron the headlines, it is for a helicopter history and hitchhiking. We are in March 1995 and Edouard Balladur is in full campaign for the presidency. While it must ensure movement in Provence, the Prime Minister is late. His helicopter had to land in open country, because of the fog, 10 km from its destination. Forced to hitchhike, the head of government is relying on Claire Lacaille, a motorist “passing by” and embarks in his Mercedes to bring up his appointment.
The story makes us smile, but the support of Jacques Chirac, a sworn enemy of Prime Minister cry setup, as explained release . The motorist providential is simply a cousin by marriage of Georges Tron, then campaign director of Edouard Balladur. According to Chirac, the objective of this operation is to “make people” with an electorate that sees Balladur as a stuffy aristocrat traveling in a sedan chair. Georges Tron denies but concedes the relationship that unites Claire Lacaille, a “cousin of his father” that he sees “not often” . The controversy ended with the defeat of Edouard Balladur for president. And Georges Tron, like all balladuriens, falls back into anonymity.
So the following year. In June 1996, another political maneuver, much more troublesome, the splashes. His nemesis, the Socialist Thierry Mandon, then mayor of Ris, in the neighboring town of Draveil Essonne, faced riots by young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods. As revealed release at the time, Georges Tron parliamentary attached tries to persuade by phone, Ris host to push young people breaking public facilities. In exchange, it ensures their future support of Draveil mayor to find work.
First, Georges Tron denies, denounced the remarks distorted and defends his collaborator. Except that the conversation was recorded. Upon publication, the mayor of Draveil exchange gear ratio and condemns the approach of the Parliamentary attached, which will be returned. The complaint against Georges Tron for “incitement to acts of violence commission” no further action two months later. The UMP fared still unscathed.
At the time, the name of Georges Tron actually rather smile colleagues. For the parliamentary essonnien easily entrust to other members passion for reflexology, discipline of massaging the feet to act on sensitive points. “Tron was nicknamed ‘the Chinese masseur’” tells Pierre Charon, former adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy in The JDD . It is also common knowledge that he mass than female feet, a trend that will give depth to rape accusations in 2011 by two former employees of the Town Hall of Draveil.
In December 2013, the court initially issued a dismissal in this case. During the investigation, several victims of the passion of Georges Tron explained that he had a propensity to massage the toes and arches without asking permission, as detailed in Mediapart, , which publishes extracts from the order of dismissal.
A journalist Paris-Match and tells how, after an interview in which Georges Tron makes him charming, MP offers of going in the car for a particular trip. “I went up to his right front passenger. So we had to start suddenly leaned Georges Tron, he grabbed my left foot. (…) He massaged my foot with his right hand , driving. I tried to remove my leg, but he held my foot firmly. (…) I clearly saw in his eyes that his massages had a sexual connotation and in no case it s’ were complementary medicine. Especially since it did not ask me my opinion. “ Reporter leaves the vehicle to the next red light, shoe in hand.
This time Georges Tron is struggling to emerge unscathed from this affair feet poisoning his career. The year following the filing of a complaint, it is not re-elected in his constituency in the 2012 parliamentary But he managed to bounce back and “Tron affair” then serves as an argument campaign to win municipal 2014 and 2015 county: when he is criticized by an opponent, he brandished the dismissal pronounced in 2013, estimated that “presumption of innocence” is scorned and denounced a plot policy.
He points the finger in particular the responsibility of Philippe Olivier camp, former executive of the FN, brother of Marine Le Pen and a candidate in every election since 2012. Draveil ” I’m used to manage the lies of those people, explains the UMP to francetv info in 2014. They argue tomorrow that I murdered Kennedy in 1963. ” Between rumors, anonymous leaflets, and accusations, the political battle is at loggerheads in the Essonne. Georges Tron it enjoys a victim image while using, too, questionable methods.
During the municipal campaign, the mayor of Draveil thus engaged in a strange practice, led against one of the members of the list of Philippe Olivier when he crosses the street, the former minister yells: A reference to the son of this opponent “Cannabis Cannabis!” policy convicted cannabis culture. “During the electoral campaign of 2012, he made me a dirty, retorted Georges Tron. It has no lesson to teach me!” L former minister ousted then rehabilitated, has however a lot of advice to give to those who one day would start unscrewed and the conquest of political summits. It must be said that in addition to feet, Georges Tron has another passion, mountaineering.
