PARIS – The voters of the right and center are called for the first time in France to choose their candidate for the presidential election, a poll or suspense where the ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy and two former Prime ministers Alain Juppé and François Fillon are fighting the investiture in a handkerchief.
less than 24 hours of the first round, the order of arrival of the trio, facing the four “underdogs” relegated to the background (Bruno, Mayor, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, Jean-François Copé and Jean-Frédéric Poisson), remains an unknown until the scores appear tight in recent studies of opinion.
The duel announced by the canadian institutes of survey between Alain Juppé, the head of the ranking since its entry into the fray in August 2014, and Nicolas Sarkozy has become the trifecta in the last row on the right with the sudden rise of François Fillon.
LILLE, Alain Juppé, took the opportunity yesterday evening of its last meeting before the first round to fire arrows at the destination of his main rivals.
“I say this in all friendliness to François Fillon, it will not delete 500.000 or 600.000 officials in five years, this is not possible, I say to Nicolas Sarkozy, he must recognize his mistakes : we were wrong to remove the 10,000 positions in the forces of the order, to remove the double penalty and to dismantle the intelligence territorial,’ he said.
For its last meeting in NIMES, Nicolas Sarkozy spoke of a “France downgraded” and “threatened in its identity and in its cohesion” by years of left-wing government.
The old president has presented himself as the “candidate of the action”. He again called for a “alternating strong” by opposition to the”alternating soft” embodied, according to him, by Alain Juppé, whom he has never named.
in PARIS, French prime minister François Fillon has asked the voters to “shake up” the primary, convinced that a “surprise,” and is projected towards the presidential 2017, pledging to “carry the torch” of gaullism.

MARRAKECH, Morocco – The nearly 200 countries gathered in Marrakech in the framework of the COP22 agreed last night to set out by December 2018 on the terms and conditions of application of the Agreement on climate, concluded last year in Paris.
at the end of two weeks of discussions, the delegates have also called upon the future president of the United States, the climate-sceptic Donald Trump, to go back on his threat to denounce the agreement, which provides for limiting the temperature rise to less than two degrees Celsius compared to preindustrial levels. This commitment has been reaffirmed on Thursday.
For this goal to become reality, rules are necessary because the Paris agreement left a number of points in the wave, in particular as regards the way in which countries will report their emission reduction pledges of greenhouse gas emissions and how they will be controlled.
