To see the faces of UMPistes tenors that escape from the office of the Rue Vaugirard Tuesday night, we almost think that the UMP just indulge in 1 hour 30 collective coaxing. “I’m very happy we got to create a clear, square, everyone agrees, and the rule of the game is going to guarantee the unity of the UMP in the next two years,” enthuses the large organizer of the primary, Thierry Solère. Like him, his friends are happy, serene, smiling, and even the putative candidates displayed a disturbing placidity. Right out of the Politburo, the connected Alain Juppe tweets: “Good news: the UMP chose wide open primary A decisive step was taken..” Then a few minutes later: “The framework is laid Now the contents… Courageous reforms to restart France’s prepare together”
The frame in question is the one that brainstormed for months Solère Thierry and his working group. Let us summarize. A primary open on 20 and 27 November 2016, which will be able to present the candidates with the sponsorship of 2500 militants, including 250 elected, novelty item, 20 MPs instead of the 25 proposed by the Organising Committee of the poll. Voters will have – another change – 10 000 polling stations instead of 8000 as originally proposed. Last, sliced tonight debate the future of the UMP president in the event of application. BP’s decision, the party leader must resign at the time of nomination no later than in September 2016 (date of confirmation of candidates by the High Authority). Clearly, Sarkozy may, if desired, until the last moment to leave office and benefit from the largesse offered by the Party (membership files, communication tools …) up to two months before the election. An advantageous scenario for the former president, but “it must be that there are advantages to being boss of the party”, says an ironic juppéiste.
After what he considered his victory in departmental elections, Nicolas Sarkozy can therefore welcome to have eradicated the top of this primary indigestible. To understand how the UMP boss arrived there, here is the story of an almost overpowering political office.
Solère “this very mature young parliamentarian”
18 hours, Nicolas Sarkozy appeared in the room of 238, rue de Vaugirard which houses the Politburo. “We’ll try to keep it in an hour, not much more, he starts to participants. Solère Thierry has done an admirable job, he is very mature for a young parliamentarian. Have everyone, listen to everyone, a consensus every time, it’s great! We will listen. “
The cheeks rosy with a pleasant embarrassment, the deputy of Hauts-de-Seine sets out the main principles primary, introduced the proposed timetable, the electoral body concerned, etc. And the word back to Nicolas Sarkozy who hastens to redistribute. Bernard Accoyer begins with a short projection on the absent François Fillon, on a trip to Jordan. “Francois Fillon is abroad, I got on the phone, he asked me to tell you that he agreed with this.”
Protests juppéistes
Alain Juppe, he is too, but gently protests on the calendar: “Congratulations on this collective work, but I think it’s a little late as calendar, September to file applications, this is the last limit. ” Another reason for protest, the 8000 polling stations proposed by the working group. Believes in his heart that a significant number of polling places will avoid slippages, the mayor of Bordeaux 2000 requires additional offices. Argument loudly: “You have to enable rural areas to vote.” A speech which made her smile a participant, “Juppe candidate in rural areas, it’s pretty funny.” Then his “interrogation” on the future of the leadership of the UMP in the event that one of its members would run for the primary.
Sarkozy took up the ball. “First, I do not repeat the statutes adopted by the triumvirate namely that if a member of the leadership of the UMP’s candidate, he resigned. Small two, I’ll leave to the Rules Committee the task of inventing good system to a collective leadership during the campaign in the primary. Third, I propose radically but very simple as the one who is elected (e) primary becomes the head of the UMP until the next elections. “
Juppé nods. Speech can circulate.
Bertrand wants 20 parliamentarians, activists
Estrosi 5000
After congratulating Thierry Solère Bruno Le Maire and Gérard Larcher consider “wise” the number of 25 sponsors parliamentarians. Jean-Pierre Raffarin took the microphone and announced its question: “What is a political party that could participate in the primary?” A friendly debate among the participants before Juppé tranche: “it is simplified in the regulation and it is said that it is the BP will decide case by case which is likely to be a candidate outside the UMP. ” Auctioned, sold
Then, Henri Guaino expresses displeasure. “I’m embarrassed by this parliamentary threshold history, this is not to say that the notables may be a candidate.” Rebound Xavier Bertrand: “The very fact that there is this debate refute all prejudices, if we go down the number of sponsors to 20, could climb a little the number of militants.” Christian Estrosi rushes into the breach opened by the deputy of the Aisne and claims instead that we increase the number of militants sponsorships “. 2500 is not enough, you can double down” But deemed impractical proposal is evacuated by Thierry Solère.
Same Spending limit for all candidates
It is the turn of the treasurer of the UMP Daniel Fasquelle talking. Topic discussed: the spending limit. “Will it be the same for UMP candidates and those of other teams?” asks the deputy mayor of Le Touquet. Solère response: “It is to negotiate, but we can not imagine having two different ceilings, the Constitutional Council is vigilant on primary now, he wants to reintegrate them into the campaign accounts It is for this reason that we. will require two things. a spending limit and their publication in December 2016, ie before the presidential election “
Suddenly, the discrete Edouard Balladur lends a miserable elbow his microphone just s’ crashing to the ground. “What a joker, that Balladur” Sarkozy launches. No doubt, the BP on Tuesday evening, the time to relax and humor. So by the time we vote, the rules of the primary are adopted lifted a jiffy. While the Politburo to an end, Nicolas Sarkozy and Daniel Fasquelle resume speak for a highlight of the show for the least expected.
Study Sarkothon
“We have a study by two experts on the Sarkothon begins Fasquelle. And the actual result shows that Once everything has been paid, the Sarkothon reported one million euros net to the party. ” A statement completed by Sarkozy: “On my own money, I have commissioned two experts for three months magistrates to achieve financial consolidation of all costs Sarkothon and repayment of the fine, the Sarkothon reported much more than the UMP has given me. ” Deciphering the strange output: the head of the UMP who resents having spent a whole day to explain to the judges last week means there UMP his comrades that the auditors have approved the accounts for the UMP had indeed reason to do so. Discomfort around the table. The politburo has almost failed to take place without tension.
