It should be a day of debate on the party’s political line. It was actually a speech litany taken from the right-wing leaders, who do not necessarily listened to them. This had the gift to irritate Nicolas Sarkozy: “A party is not a succession of speeches and after we do, we do not hear what you say! “, has he thundered Saturday midday. The National Council of Republicans (LR), held Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 February in Paris, highlighted the internal rivalries in the context of the primary right for the 2017 presidential Faced with bad polls, Nicolas Sarkozy tried to regain control through the day. But his rivals have held her head and openly challenged his authority.
In the morning, the President announced that he would present Republicans Sunday “text” on the party’s guidance for 2017 that the “engage” will “voted on by members in April” . A nine-month primary, Sarkozy also reaffirmed its commitment to present a “group project” the party for 2017, without waiting for its competitors “deign to offer us their ideas” . The objective of Mr. Sarkozy: forcing his rivals to follow the project and the line right all he has himself enacted based on the militant legitimacy. And if not, make them appear out of step with the aspirations of the hard core of the party.
Except that its competitors do not feel obliged not the initiatives of the President of the Republicans. Well ahead of the polls, the main rival of Mr Sarkozy, Alain Juppe, finds that the project will be one of the first candidate in the primary. Ditto for Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, which is expected to run for the primary in early March. “The project will be decided during the vote in the primary. The text [Nicolas Sarkozy] does not lock anything “, said the former number two of the party. “It’s a good thing that the party works and offers, but it undertake any obligation candidates for the primary” , agreed Bruno Mayor, future candidate.
Another attempt to constrict his rivals Mr Sarkozy announced his intention to assign the nominations for the laws, in June, before the primary. Except that yet, Alain Juppe, Francois Fillon and Bruno Le Maire did not want to hear about. Suspecting Mr. Sarkozy want to use to dissuade MPs to support one of its competitors, they feel that this will be the winner of the primary to award nominations
NKM.: “There is no providential man”
The internal challenge to Mr Sarkozy does not stop there. If MM. Juppe and the Mayor came to the National Council on Saturday, they did not speak and will not listen to the speech of their party president Sunday. Fillon either. But unlike its rivals, the deputy of Paris gave a speech at the forum.
Like many other figures of the movement, it is possible to launch a pike to the ex-president the Republic. “It is good to discuss the political line, subject to remember that a policy line is the result of a project for France and not a hollandienne synthesis” is telling the former prime minister. More direct, NKM launched at the podium: “There is no providential man. “
Nadine Morano is also driveway of his pique by criticizing Mr Sarkozy to have ” wrong to remove the immigration department “ . On his side, Hervé Mariton launched to Mr. Sarkozy, speaking of marriage for all: “I want to repeal it because I will keep the promise you had made. “ More surprisingly, the former adviser to the president of RS, Henri Guaino, opposed the idea of Mr. Sarkozy to ban alternative menus in school canteens: ” My political family, is the one that is a shame we do not offer an alternative meals to children in canteens. “
The only consolation pattern for President of LR: its candidate to the presidency of the National Council, the parliament of the party, won. Luc Chatel has won against Michele Alliot-Marie with nearly 55.3% of the vote by the National Council against 44.7% for his rival
Read. Luc Chatel elected president National Council of Republicans
the outcome of the vote is a relief for Mr Sarkozy, who feared that its candidate is defeated by the former president of the Rally for the Republic (RPR). Several right-wing elected officials have, however, seen as a sign of the loss of Sarkozy’s authority over his troops. “Chatel should have at least two thirds of the votes or three quarters. The desire for independence Michele Alliot-Marie rained. This shows that Nicolas Sarkozy does not really take the party “, concluded the MP for Manche Philippe Gosselin, near Hervé Mariton. A sentiment shared by several elected LR, who also cite the snub inflicted on former President on the extension of deprivation of nationality, rejected by 74 deputies LR.
Even finding in juppéistes. “This party has become a way to shell calcification where people pretend to listen, where there is not even half of the National Council who vote” , deplores Edouard Philippe, close to the mayor of Bordeaux, in reference to the election Chatel-Alliot-Marie, where only 980 national councilors voted on nearly 2 000 in total. For the mayor of Le Havre, hold the camera does not give a decisive advantage to the President of RS, while nearly three million could vote in the primary of the right and center in November. “I do not understand how Sarkozy could make the mistake of returning the party while the primary difference. “
