PARIS (Reuters) – Republicans gather Saturday and Sunday at Nicolas Sarkozy’s initiative to discuss their line to 14 months of the presidential election, a pretense that democratic hardly hide fractures primary, bluntly revived by the controversy over the constitutional amendment.
“shot for nothing,” except to make a show of strength of Nicolas Sarkozy facing a Alain Juppe zenith in polls, believe elected the party after the snub inflicted on former President on the extension of deprivation of nationality, rejected by 74 deputies LR including “fillonistes” and “juppéistes”.
the highlight of this gathering, where the party leadership announced some 2,000 national consultants, will be the former head of the closing speech of the state Sunday, but François Fillon and Bruno Le Maire, among his opponents for primary in November, will be present as Saturday did here Friday with their respective entourages.
Alain Juppe, whistled as François Fillon at the founding congress of the Republicans in May, should also provide minimum services.
to add to the coldness of the atmosphere, the estate of Jean-Pierre Raffarin to the presidency of the National Council, which will give rise to a vote, is the core of a struggle deaf between Luc Chatel, knighted by Nicolas Sarkozy and Alliot-Marie, who announced his candidacy surprise on 4 February.
Nicolas Sarkozy announced in December a meeting of the National Council, “Parliament” of party, to cut short the regulations of internal accounts after mixed score to the right in regional. The line “rightist” loser 2012 had then been directly attacked by Alain Juppé and François Fillon in particular.
THE IMPOSSIBLE SYNTHESIS
The president has since Republicans sacrificed to metered dose to the “right asset” bluntly demanded by its competitors in his book “La France for life” sold to date more than 114,000 copies, according to GfK.
Nicolas Sarkozy intends to play the party and its “programmatic base”, whose premises are clearly in the wake of 2012, against competing lines of rivals, after all relatives on economic issues.
” i want the right and the center go to the end of their ideological refoundings necessary, “he writes in his book. “Half measures, the risky compromise, skillful ambiguities should no longer have a place in our alternating project.”
“We did not expect to work and provide a breakdown of project radical, “said a team member Francois Fillon. The former prime minister, whose ultra-liberal project is the most advanced, regularly irritates the “looting” of his ideas by Sarkozy and Juppe teams.
“It is helpful that the party establish a base, but a presidential campaign is the first project of a man or a woman. in 2007, Nicolas Sarkozy’s project was not one of the UMP. it was his “notes Hervé Gaymard, in charge of the project Alain Juppe.
political analyst Thomas Guenole,” the very existence of the primary makes useless and absurd to try to define a specific political party project . “
” by definition, each candidate for the primary will bring his own, and the distribution of votes will determine the weight of each of these currents in the final synthesis. This is altogether a conversion right the practice of the left “, he considers.
Even the Socialist Party, a pioneer in the performance of the primary, resigned Feb. 6 to acquire a reference program for 2017 so as not to “replay the play previous elections where spent time talking and arguing (…) is inversely proportional to the time that the candidate passes the read and reproduce it.”
