Paris loses the Socialist candidate for president 2012, Brussels guide EU countries in the IMF and the crisis shaking. If the guilt of Dominique Strauss-Kahn for sexual harassment has yet to be ascertained, but two things are certain: his international career and political life is over and the effects of his fall will be felt not only in Paris.
While opinion leaders believe the French no longer possible candidacy for the presidential Elysee DSK 2012, in Brussels feared the effects of the decapitation of the International Monetary Fund at a key moment for the financial stability of Europe. Just yesterday, Strauss-Kahn would have to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel to speak again of Greece and dissolve the last doubts of Berlin on the second loan of 60 billion euro necessary to save the government in Athens from bankruptcy.
Today, however, would lead a delegation of the IMF at the Eurogroup meeting in Brussels on the table, together with Greece, the possible appointment of Mario Draghi at the ECB. But the problems for Europe does not end there. With the fall at the helm of the IMF's DSK, fade hopes to see another European at the head of the international organization, than ever in recent years has played a leading role in the prevention of financial difficulties and are close to the borders of the EU mediating the action of Brussels in Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
According to Jean Pisani-Ferry, director of consulting company "Economic Bruegel," "DSK's successor will most likely be a non-European, and this will lead to a rebalancing of the priorities of the Fund less Eurocentric." "They chose the eve of the IMF and the G20 can crack greek, is an international plot," he denounced the French Socialist Michèle Sabban.
And the thesis of an "international plot" begins to take off in France, something that could go well beyond the elimination of the prince of socialist candidate in the race of the Elysée 2012. The first to speak was Christine Boutin, the French president of the Christian Democrats: "I think that probably was a trap aimed at Strauss-Kahn and he fell right in there." But who is the author? "Maybe someone from the IMF itself, perhaps from the French right, perhaps from the left." In short, a true "banana peel put under the feet of DSK," to use the metaphor of Jean-Louis Borloo, co-chairman of the Radical Party "Rue de Valois' Moreover, as Borloo said," everybody knows that its point women are weak.
" According to many of the control room of this alleged plot would have its own in Paris. The economist, writer and French banker Jacques Attali points out that the Sofitel hotel, site of the alleged attempted rape, is part of a chain in France. Another strange fact, as revealed by the French daily Liberation, which is the first to spread the news on the Internet, even before the American press, has been a twitter with a young militant UMP (Sarkozy's party).
But if there was indeed a conspiracy, what is the real objective? "Eliminate the likely Socialist candidate for president 2012", said Henri de Raincourt, French Minister for Overseas Territories, or "decapitate the IMF itself, which is the most powerful man in the world after Barak Obama", as suspected by Michèle Sabban, Vice President of the Regional Council of Ile-de-France? One thing is certain, "hopes for the candidacy of Strauss-Kahn is now null and void," a word of the leader of the National Front and art daughter Marine Le Pen, who gave the opinion polls as the most likely opponent in the second round of the DSK presidential.
And the Socialist Party can not shake it to collect a clam shot, as suggested by Martine Aubry, secretary of the PS and the daughter of Jacques Delors.
