The marriage of carp and Baroin – The Point

Between them now, it’s serious. Guest of Great Rendezvous Europe 1- Le Monde -i & gt; TV, Baroin formalized its political relationship with Nicolas Sarkozy. If he does not say his name, the gossips might interpret the formula as a pike addressed to Alain Juppé, including Nicolas Sarkozy repeatedly emphasizes, in public and in private, advanced age and lack of energy to govern.

“We need an energy above average and I think Nicolas Sarkozy this energy well above average. I have always said, too. “

If he spoke of the authority and power of Sarkozy, Baroin has not spontaneously mentioned ideas that could be closer to his new ally. And for good reason. On a rather centrist political line and humanist, the “baby Chirac” has never been a fan of identity arabesques of former head of state. Moreover, the president of the UMP is far from having released the identity case, which will be central to the next presidential election. At a conference on national identity organized mid-May, Sarkozy has attacked the “ideologues of multiculturalism”, Alain Juppé to the front line. Politically, Sarkozy and Baroin, the marriage of carp and rabbit.

The promise of Matignon

On the set of Jean-Pierre Elkabbach which had recruited on Europe 1 as a political journalist, Baroin has assumed its contradictions. “Disagreements (with Sarkozy), I do not have that on national identity. I was spokesman Jacques Chirac in 1995, he was one of Balladur, “he recalled. But for him, all that is history. Since the time Buisson, water has, it seems, under the bridge. “I considered that there were some bad extreme right geniuses who had influenced the end of the campaign (2012). I think he dismissed them. “And then everything is forgiven since Sarkozy” has recognized its mistakes “with” sincerity “in his book

Politically, the alliance is interesting for the mayor of Troyes. Nicolas Sarkozy had promised him Prime Minister (what Baroin has not confirmed on the shelf). As for Nicolas Sarkozy, in addition to enjoy the network of the current head of the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), this allows him to fight Bruno Le Maire in its own grounds of “renewal”. Especially, Baroin Chirac is a pure juice. His support is therefore a snub to Alain Juppé, Chirac had described as “best of us” but which nevertheless no consensus among the faithful of the former president.

for it is especially Juppé, the common enemy of Sarkozy and Baroin, who brought the two men. On set, François Baroin summarized his bad relationship with the current mayor of Bordeaux: “He did not trust me, I did not trust him. “Long nicknamed” Harry Potter “year because of his round glasses and his youthful appearance, Senator and Mayor of Troyes has therefore undertaken a real magic trick: passing Sarkozy Chirac for more than Juppé. “You exaggerate a little differences. Sarkozy is rather the heir to the popular right was that of Chirac. It’s Juppe that has no place in Chiraquie for the Gaullists. Commentators forget that Séguin and Pons have supported Sarkozy “says someone close to Point.fr.

” I’ll have your skin the next reshuffle “

the distrust between the two Chirac dates back to 1995 when the former prime minister has turned the former spokesman of the government as “a vulgar Juppette”. Yet Baroin Sunday denied this version of events: “This is ridiculous and laughable,” he said. But he was evasive in explaining the conflict. ” This is how. The policy is also a human science-based relationships. “Understand: the two men feel no sympathy for one another. “He has more affinity with Sarko which is in affect that Juppé” decrypts the near Bruno Le Maire.

Very rebounded against Juppe, a close Baroin told off by an anecdote which, he said, triggered the rupture between the two Jedi to Chiraquie. When he was prime minister, Juppe would have tried to ensure that the minutes of cabinet meetings are held at Matignon. Baroin Chirac have called to inform him. Behavior that would not be to the liking of Juppé. “He told Baroin: I’ll have your skin the next reshuffle . The day of the reshuffle, Chirac called the spokesman of the government saying, I’m not going to let this bastard Juppé pleased to announce your resignation. You’ll make a statement to AFP before. What he has done. “

A story denied by the poll favorite camp. “We rewrote history” launches laconically near Juppé before deplore the disagreement “Francis spoke. He said he no longer wished to work with Alain. Too bad. We would have loved to work with him. We will meet after the primary, I hope. “The pieces of broken pots will not be easy to pick up.
