If it was to demonstrate his great determination, it succeeded. The French, who have seen, Thursday evening, his Words and deeds on France 2 should have no doubt that Nicolas Sarkozy puts all his energy for re-election to the Elysee. Obviously the campaign, however, he said he intended to remain as long as possible an undeclared candidate for the primary in order to remain the party leader. “I can not let Republicans headless” he summarily explained to justify this combination that undermines equality between candidates for the primary right and center of 20 and 27 November.
Severely shaken by his interlocutors, the former head of state has emerged the great game of seduction television, alternating humor and seriousness, the bluster and humility overplayed. To believe the flattering figures aligned end of transmission by Jean-Daniel Levy, director of the political department and opinion of Harris Interactive, it came out rather reinforced his confrontation with French journalists and the panel came to question. After more than two hours on the set of the most-attended show and the most feared by politicians, the share of viewers with a good opinion of Sarkozy would have increased 10 points, from 30% to 40%. No room for complacency, however: the question “Sarkozy he has convinced you tonight,” these same viewers are only 36% have answered yes, against 56% for Juppe in October 2014
Faced with “French” critics see outright hostile – a leader juppéiste company that has carved piece his economic record, a union CGT who was accused of tampering with the unemployment figures … so those of his 2012 campaign – Sarkozy was true to its reputation: feisty and clever, mixing approximations sincere impulses. Admiring himself, he confessed that he was astonished at its own vitality: “I have this energy in me, I do not know why! In my head, I’m 18! “
dominant political Beast
By refusing, on the orders of François Hollande, to come and debate with him, ministers Government offered him a good opportunity to take the stage as a political beast dominant, feared throughout the jungle. Exchange with Emmanuel Macron or Christiane Taubira, with Marisol Touraine or Jean-Marie Le Guen? “I would have been very happy to do that,” pretends to lament Sarkozy, ignoring the protests of David Pujadas who reminded him that he, for his part, refused to discuss the issue 1 PS Jean-Christophe Cambadélis or figure Robert Badinter.
His disgrace in opinion? Sarkozy swore she did not mind the more. He had come to talk about something much more important: “the France we love” and which is concerned about whether there will “pass it on to our children” . that will be also the last word: “defend this France which does not remove the legacy of our parents and grandparents” Repeated like a leitmotif. this theme of threatened heritage stands out as the favorite slogan of the candidate Sarkozy. For “be useful” , it has no other ambition than to be “authentic” by explaining what it “successful” that he “missed” and the conclusions he draws. He did “no bitterness or acrimony” as it remains, her little French half-breed, infinitely grateful to the voters for having chosen the first time in 2007: “I Nicolas Sarkozy calls me and I would never have thought the French would do me the honor. “
of course, it did not escape questions about the denial of his promise repeal of gay marriage. Asked what could have induced him to yield in the countryside for re-election at the head of the UMP, the pressure of the Manif for all, the former head of state has served as a confusing and somewhat confused explanation : it would be “a form of modesty” own the Sarkozy family who had prevented him from openly discuss issues related to homosexuality . “I was misspoke, I wanted to correct my ambiguity,” is it justified. But this reversal on gay marriage has tried to do, by a characteristic reversal of his method, a nice illustration of his “authenticity”. “Should a politician be a gross headstrong which is never wrong “ he candidly asked
in the process, he bravely mounted his latest battle cry:. wildly crusade against neutral package cigarettes that would in his eyes that ineffective fad of the French socialists. Ignoring remarks Pujadas who told him that many countries advocate the measure, he denounced “this madness any ban” This is serious. After neutral package of tobacco, Sarkozy sees coming bottle neutral wine and perhaps even neutral car …
face-to-face with a juppéiste contractor
to convince and seduce, he showed that he did not shrink against the exaggerations and falsehoods. Facing a young lawyer who questions whether being black is not related to its difficulties in finding a job, he reiterated his commitment to affirmative action. He claims to have himself “imposed” , including Sciences Po, when he was in business. Many in the audience of Words and deeds , Sciences Po students do not believe their ears: they all know that this is from 2001, under Lionel Jospin, that the famous “agreements” with some neighborhoods of high schools have been set up.
the most difficult moment will undoubtedly was, for Sarkozy, his face-to-face with a clearly determined entrepreneur never vote for him. “Why I revoterais for you? I was disappointed, “ he launched. Disappointed in particular by maintaining the 35 hours, he noted that it took “wait a left government” to finally get lower actual costs. While Sarkozy invoked the 2008 crisis to justify its reformist caution, ruthless little boss curtly replied: “The crisis came in September 2008, for a year and a half, you had all the powers and you don ‘ have done nothing. “ to make things quite clear, he promised to vote Juppé to the primary, because it at least ” he tried in 1995 “.
Sarkozy obviously could not pass it up. He therefore noted that Juppe – with whom he had lunch the same day – had ended by “withdraw the reform of social security ‘ in 1995 while he, Sarkozy, ” led after “ its pension reform in 2010. in the camp of the mayor of Bordeaux, we shall react to hot. But it is very likely that this attack will not remain unanswered. Former Prime Minister specify no doubt, as he has often done, if it has fallen on the special pension schemes after the massive strikes in the fall of 1995, he did vote in December of that year a law allowing the government to reform social Security by orders. Declared candidate against undeclared candidate, this asymmetrical campaign is well and truly underway.
