The culture against the disintegration of the national community. Art and its wonders to repair the ravages of communitarianism. This is the new anthem of Nicolas Sarkozy. In his speech, the candidate for the primary in November does not tire to evoke the light of Poussin, the power of Soulages and all kinds of masterpieces of architecture and literature which he suggests in passing , how they are dear to him and familiar.
for his third presidential campaign, it is as if Sarkozy was trying to build a sort of synthesis of the first two. “little French of mixed blood” 2007 shifts the cultural field the identity of the slogan of 2012. Without abandoning candidate, far from it, in his crusade for national identity, he tries the accents Maurrassians rid of his former advisor Patrick Buisson. In France to life, the book that a vengeance dedication since January, the central chapter is devoted to the culture, about “vitally face the formidable crisis importance identity that continues to worsen “. It will, he promises, the priority of his “alternation project.”
In this field, the primary competitors are far from inactive. Bruno Le Maire said for months he must prefer the struggle for culture, synonymous “openness to others,” “withdrawal” implied the identity debate. In a speech on 31 March, Alain Juppe says that after the terrorist attacks of 2015 “against our civilization,” “we all understood that our culture is our best weapon to resist” . the mayor of Bordeaux is scheduled to speak early July in Avignon, on cultural policy he claims, too, to “heart” of the project. While advocating, like all right candidates, a massive reduction in public spending, he argues that the budget of the Ministry of Culture “ must be upgraded, maintained and supported over time” .
Pleasant decor
on Wednesday, Nicolas Sarkozy must pronounce in northern qualified speech “very important” with his entourage. There will be question of France and state authority. Two days before the start of the European Football Championships, it should learn from the controversy sparked by Karim Benzema and amplified by “poor Monsieur Cantona”. “This is the result of a militant communalism [...]. The government, including François Hollande, played with communitarianism, pushed the French against each other, “ he already said last week on RTL.
decor was neat: to celebrate France and authority, the former head of state will speak in the renovated building of the old mill of Saint-André-lez-Lille in the north. For the first time, he wanted to be surrounded by dozens of parliamentarians who support his candidacy. We will see it, prominently, his chief lieutenant, Senator François Baroin. Presented as the joker of the campaign which is struggling to take off, the former Chirac is also hostile to Alain Juppe that the rightward shift of identity campaign of 2012. Retained in the United States, the second pillar of Sarkozy device, Laurent Wauquiez , can not hear the speech. But in the Journal du Dimanche, he reiterated how the affirmation of the Christian roots of France was important to him. He argues for a claim of uninhibited struggle for national identity and that his support for Nicolas Sarkozy is “neither unconditional nor blind” .
The party president Republicans (LR) is hard to satisfy Baroin without alienating Wauquiez. Never run out of superlatives, his entourage ensures that with the “speech founder” Saint-André-Lez-Lille, the former head of state will do what no one else than him would be able to succeed: back right this people angry that looks, for want of better, towards the National Front “this will surely be great …” quips an LR deputy disappointed Sarkozyism.. In fact, that claim to siphon the electorate of the extreme right is not new. Sarkozy gave it a try in the departmental and regional elections of 2015. He failed in both cases. No matter: he is betting that over time, his fine assurance will eventually wake up voters, still very warm in the polls. “Aznar, Blair, Giscard, Jospin failed to return, I’m trying to get there,” he confided Tuesday to Le Figaro … that zapping ‘English as the Spanish do have them, never attempted comeback. This cultural and identity struggle, Sarkozy rode on for several weeks. He returned Thursday morning, fence convention organized by RS as part of its “Project appointment”. Last week, the former head of state in Cannes animated a round table with artists and leaders of cultural institutions. Mayor David Lisnard (LR), organizer of the meeting noted with satisfaction that several participants notoriously left, had not hesitated to overcome “ideological barriers” for this answer.
“modesty”
Nothing could be more fun Sarkozy. “I know where you come from,” he has them affectionately launched before launching into a long monologue that left little room for “debate” ad. As he does in his book, Sarkozy said his regret for not having shown, when he was at the Elysee, how culture was for him a vital subject. “I do not like pedants and snobs. I really like the culture to talk superficially “ he confided in his introduction on the charm. Balance sheet “no” of his successor, he opposes his own, full of ambitious and expensive projects (Beaubourg-Metz, Louvre-Lens, Paris Philharmonic …) which he perpetuated funding between 2007 and 2012 times “against” his prime minister, François Fillon. “You wanted the left, you’ve had. I imagine what it must be like for you suffering, “ he launched, compassionate, voters of Holland. “Put aside your modesty, build together the cultural policy of a great nation. Think about it: do your true friends are those who need your expertise, “ he concluded after promising to do everything to protect the heritage, defending the creation and distribution of? artistic culture by national education. The goal is always to finish with the “ Community withdrawal” the “ghettos that are cultivated in the name of social justice” .
in front of a different audience, Sarkozy had gone a few days earlier, much further in his new battle. On 24 May, it closed at the Invalides the seminar “Identity (s) French (s), between pride and disenchantment” organized by France proud, a new think tank, still quite confidential, founded by Yassin Hayette Hamidi and Lamaoui two young elected officials LR Ile-de-France. “I like you” he started talking about his own family history and multiple origins.
blistered tab
According to him, France proudly bears witness an ideological victory: “What a long way since the howls of outrage that accompanied my speech in 2007 on national identity. [...] We have won there a cultural struggle and major policy. “ A win against ” ideologues of multiculturalism and inequality sociologists’ which, for thirty years, deem “unseemly” tell “Napoleonic epic” or “the capture of Jerusalem by Godfrey of Bouillon,” continued Nicolas Sarkozy in a speech that door blistered leg of its identity feather Camille Pascal columnist current Values . . Worse, these ideologues have deliberately trashed the humanities because they saw an obstacle to the promotion of social equality
To get out of this shipwreck, Nicolas Sarkozy proposes a radical solution: impose “an assimilation pact” those who want to “fit to the nation” . It will “speak French, know and love France, respect the values of the Republic as the nation’s lifestyles” . So perhaps it will be possible to return to the blessed time when it was “no need to have parents who spoke French to cry in front of Cyrano.”
