This Saturday, the thousand members of the National Council of Republicans gathered Porte de Versailles in Paris will receive a” summary document “which presented the proposals already adopted by the militants. Entitled “The appointment of the Republican project” and along 106 pages, it is composed of five chapters, which correspond to the five thematic working days organized by Nicolas Sarkozy since his return. Each resulted in a series of steps then submitted to the vote of the members.

In the chapter entitled “Housing, find an ambition for France” include in particular the idea of ​​a “ORSEC construction and housing” to revive housing construction, as well as the replacement of “public housing for life” by a system of “moderate monthly payments to property” to facilitate home ownership. The repeal of the law Alur Cécile Duflot features prominently in the commitments of the Republicans.

“What immigration policy?” Nicolas Sarkozy pushed through by the party’s proposals to arm Europe cope with the influx of migrants and a policy of limiting the legal immigration the main points – the annual ceiling vote by national representation, restriction of family reunification, put under conditions of access to social benefits, end the diversion of the asylum procedure, etc- are now shared by all candidates for the primary, including Alain Juppé. The mayor of Bordeaux is still opposed, however, to the idea of ​​”giving full force to the principle of assimilation,” a concept that he rejects in favor of that of “integration”.

the proposals contained in the chapters on reform of the labor code and rurality are also the subject of a consensus, at least for now, the candidates did not all refined their program in these areas.

The chapter on security, it clearly bears the imprint Sarkozy, although Alain Juppe shows no tendency to laxity on sovereign issues in his latest book, “For strong state”.

This project outline will then leave in federations, where activists will be able to contribute. Then the proposals ascend in Paris Éric Woerth, Secretary General of the Republicans, will be responsible to develop a final version. Which will be presented to political office “in March,” according to the entourage of the head of the line, before being submitted to the vote of the militants.

Nicolas Sarkozy, it is about equipping Republicans before spring a “base” of proposals to which all applicants must adhere to the primary. The rivals of the former head of state obviously did not intend it that way. Hence their reluctance to participate this weekend in the National Council, which must initiate the process. Alain Juppé will spend Saturday at lunchtime but did not speak, just as Bruno Le Maire. François Fillon, he should speak. Hervé Mariton is scheduled Saturday afternoon and unlike other candidates for the primary, he planned to return Sunday afternoon to attend Nicolas Sarkozy’s closing speech.
