It has become the main obstacle on the road to Nicolas Sarkozy. Alain Juppe, 69, continues to benefit from its image as a wise old French politics. “It will be you or me” , Nicolas Sarkozy has dropped his former minister at a recent meeting between the two men. Candidate since 20 August 2016 primary, Alain Juppé hopes to force Nicolas Sarkozy to face in this election that will designate the UMP candidate for the presidential election in 2017.
Alain Juppe a poll for him. In Ifop barometer for Paris Match September 11, former Prime Minister Leads Top politicians with 66% support among French, ahead Nicolas Sarkozy (43%). For the primary, the balance of power balance among supporters of the right (37% for Sarkozy and Juppe, in a Harris Interactive poll for LCP ) and to the advantage of Nicolas Sarkozy to of UMP (58% against 28% for Alain Juppe). But poll after poll, the mayor of Bordeaux appears, for now, as the only one who can beat the former head of state in an open primary.
“This is the time Juppe, his character is the aspiration of the people, the needs of the country “ wants to believe the member Benoist Appeared, which supports one who was prime minister from 1995 to 1997 For their part, the mock sarkozystes popularity with Simone Veil, whereas its good polls are the result of a relative lack of political combat. They bet on the collapse of the popularity of the mayor of Bordeaux upon entering the ring. “It is certain that the challenge for us remains to turn this into a political force waiting deep, with proposals concrete ” admits a close Alain Juppe.
For the moment, apart from the concept “of happy identity” made in a collective book The Twelve Tasks of the opposition ( ed. Flammarion, 2014), Alain Juppe has remained tight-lipped about its proposals. “Juppe made the Juppé and relies solely on his image” , a tackle near Xavier Bertrand. Benoist Appeared admits a delay in the preparation, but tries to turn it into an advantage: “ This is the downside, but also the charm of Alain Juppé Things are not organized. in terms of communication, it has not come out like the other presidential her little suitcase, with the Tour de France, the book, the think tank … “
For some of his opponents, Alain Juppe risk of paying the ignition delay. “It’s very long to prepare a presidential draft of the cross France to understand the state of the country. (…). He will have to work extra hard to catch up” considers the right arm of François Fillon, Jerome Chartier. “Do not believe Alain Juppe has stopped thinking in recent years, he continued to work by being on the lookout for new ideas” , says the MP Hervé Gaymard former fillonniste converted to the cause of Alain Juppé.
The link sarkozystes especially the lack of parliamentary support of the mayor of Bordeaux. They make fun of her nomination, made on his blog, revealing, as, they, of loneliness. Indeed, Benoist Appeared, Edouard Philippe and Hervé Gaymard up a short list of supporters. But juppéistes sure that a lot of emails of sympathy begin to arrive and that helping polls, other MPs will join the team. “It is true that, for now, it remains its Achilles heel because it is no longer in the ‘business’ parliamentary decade, unlike other” admits Gaymard before relative: “In 1995, Balladur was crammed with parliamentarians, which did not prevent him from losing against Chirac.”
Supporters Alain Juppe believe they can reverse the trend. They point out in passing that Nicolas Sarkozy has lost much support since his departure in 2012 “When I see today that even Nadine Morano critic, he is left with the larger world” , a slip near Alain Juppe in reference to statements despite the former minister. But friends Alain Juppe must recognize that the former head of state begins to rally much support. Jean-Francois Cope, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, Laurent Wauquiez have already joined the Sarkozy camp. “They are nothing at all” , a replica juppéiste MP.
The clan Juppe stressed the ability to rally former Prime Minister. “It can be a very broad political spectrum Bayrou in the hardest right” , according to Gilles Boyer, political adviser Alain Juppe. A relative took the opportunity to point out a weakness of Nicolas Sarkozy: “Sarkozy can not collect as in 2007, it will not be repeated the feat to bring Simone Veil and Patrick Buisson under the same banner . “
Gaymard already imagine a reconciliation and François Fillon Alain Juppé: ” The two men get along well, with a little goodwill on . found convergence “ for image backbone, Alain Juppe received support weight with the centrist François Bayrou: ” I Alain Juppe high regard (…) <. / em> This is someone who can do good to the country, “ says the president of the Modem . Although Alain Juppe denied, it is rumored that the two men had made a pact with a view to 2017. Juppe at the Elysée and Matignon Bayrou
The sarkozystes denounce this strategy facing the modem saying it is the worst response to counter vote National Front. “Before you go get votes beyond his camp, he should already be unanimity within his own family” , Sarkozy lambasted a member. But near Juppe will not budge: “A presidential center is won.” “Going without Bayrou is to take the risk of staying at 48% ” loose Gilles Boyer. The whole strategy of the mayor of Bordeaux is based on the gathering of the center and the right
In addition to the critical background on political strategy, supporters of Nicolas Sarkozy link another argument.: Alain Juppe would be too old. The mayor of Bordeaux will be celebrating its 70th anniversary in August 2015 “It’s a false argument, it is the quality and not not the age of the arteries that account, and I can tell you that it is ready to eat the lion “, Gaymard response. Benoist Appeared even consider the weight of years as a quality: “Beyond the experience, age suggests he will do only one term and that he will be selfless, it does will not seek re-election to “
An element could disrupt the path of Alain Juppé to the Elysee. conviction in 2004 to fourteen months in prison suspended sentence and one year of ineligibility in the case of fictitious employees of the municipality of Paris. For many, the former prime minister paid in place of Jacques Chirac (Mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1995). All of which leads to an official of the UMP that mishap, which could have cost him his political career, he finally brought a picture of faithful and devoted man.
Her close ensure that he also learned from his mistakes during his time at Matignon (1995-1997), which ended with the dissolution of the Assembly after the social movements of great magnitude. “He admits it was a bit abrupt and he wanted to do too many things at once” , concedes Gilles Boyer. But the unyielding face of the man “right in his boots” is pointed to by its supporters as an indispensable quality. “His sometimes brutal honesty can allow him to lead the country out of the shit” , said Gaymard.
“This is a very large burned. A he really wanted to get closer to the fire in the fireplace? “ recently told Baroin at JDD , casting doubt on the strength of Alain Juppé. Too soft? “ Those who whisper that I do not know I have beat me probably not seen work in the countryside”, retorted the mayor of Bordeaux in an interview Current Values . “Sarko firm and stink bombs are known, we will not give in to small easy sentences, but we are ready to fight on the bottom” , warns a close. Alain Juppe said, he intends to go after this battle and said “chick” to face Nicolas Sarkozy.
