No summer break among Republicans (LR). While filing the nomination papers to the primary of the right and center has been set to 9 September, the hunt for sponsorship is accelerating. With its share of disappointments and resentments.
To compete, candidates must collect sponsorships elected 250 – including 20 parliamentarians – and 2,500 members LR. No sponsors, no candidacy. But not all are housed in the same boat. In question, the famous listings of party members which would have deprived the underdogs of the competition.
“Everything has been done to lock the election”
Not easy to campaign without these files:
“How to make pancakes without flour I ask you?” asks Nadine Morano
.
“Everything has been done to lock the election,” she sums up in “L’Observateur”. Former Secretary of State for Family claims to have already met “half” of parliamentary sponsorships needed: “We seem to get a few pieces of listings with local elected officials, but it is really complicated to canvass the members. ” A blur that does not spare the militants: “They lack information,” continues Nadine Morano, “the party was content to send a sponsorship form in mid-July Names. candidates were not even mentioned. “
from precious files
even anxiety toward Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet. The member says that she and her team have access to listings of members LR, a parameter that complicated to also search the 2,500 needed referrals. While “big” candidates, they have an advantage, starting with Nicolas Sarkozy, the current president of the Republicans: “I know people who have joined the party in June and 15 days later received mails of the association of friends of Nicolas Sarkozy inviting them to sponsor Nicolas Sarkozy, “said the defeated candidate for mayor of Paris, in an interview to the” Journal du Dimanche “.
These listings, which include the names, addresses, phone numbers and emails of members’ contribution to date “are a valuable asset to the teams of candidates when most of the work is to canvass members one by one, as potential sponsors. War chests, gleaned by most heavyweight candidates for the primary during their passage to the presidency of the UMP, renamed Republicans. In 2013 Jean-Francois Cope and Francois Fillon in 2014 and Alain Juppé during the installation of a “triumvirate” – complemented by Jean-Pierre Raffarin. – Head of UMP then moribund
the trap of multiple sponsorship
According to one of the candidates, the focus around the validity conditions sponsorships adherents may even directly influence the results on 9 September. Unlike those of the elect, who are “saved” permanently upon filing by the applicant before the High Authority for the primary, members of sponsorships will be void if the member has given his “voice” in several candidates.
This provision, little known activists, could make it difficult for candidates who are already struggling to collect the 2,500 referrals. “The risk is great,” says one “L’Observateur”
“This is great for the favorites that have tens of thousands of reserve sponsorships are not prevented from. do with forcing members having already sponsored a small competitor to the “re-runs” in their favor. as the two sponsorships are canceled. “
apothecary Accounts
But the membership LR sponsorships are not the only ones to worry about the “small” candidates. Because facing them, the voices on the right, same insured to participate in the primary, do not relax their efforts and does not deprive the board of soap from their pursuers by continuing to siphon parliamentary supports. “These are the hardest to get referrals. This is where play applications”, said Senator LR Roger Karoutchi, support Nicolas Sarkozy and connoisseur of parliamentary arcana.
“the calculation is simple. There are about 350 parliamentarians from the right and the available center. If you assume that Fillon Juppé, Mayor and Sarkozy already mobilized 240, this does not leave much to other “quips the loyal support of the boss of the Republicans.
” Everything is done to dry the competition, “said Geoffroy Didier, who had recently expressed his weariness on Twitter asking the High Authority … to accept sponsorship from a Pokémon.
“This is a contest of egos,” said Geoffroy Didier . “The ‘big’ candidates want to inflate their number of referrals to get ahead on 9 September.”
“Attention Copé and Fillon had already played this game after the 2012 presidential election and it was very bad end “prophesies the co-founder of the current strong right.
So bad losers, outsiders to the right? “Frankly, all these rules were validated unanimously by the political bureau of the party and therefore by Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet and Nadine Morano. It is useless to be soured and bitter because we unable to do so stock “Roger Karoutchi slice.
” total hypocrisy “according Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet. The president of the group Republicans at the Paris Commission reminds “L’Observateur” that in March, the political bureau of the Republicans had adopted a new rule requiring elected officials wishing to support the candidates to sign a charter committing them to respect “republican values of the right and center.” A provision which cut de facto leftist elected the sponsorship system. “The rules have changed along the way. In March, I voted against this amendment,” she insists.
Always a good atmosphere among Republicans.
