DSK become villain

The scenario awaited by some and dreaded by others, the explosion in flight, is about to perform. At this point, one can not imagine how Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK), charged with sexual assault and attempted rape in New York, will carry through the project they had embarked and submitted to the French presidential elections of 2012.

Obviously, before going further, we must adhere to the facts and wait for the development of research and the process in New York. And also the DSK version of itself. Recall that has already been acquitted of an earlier case and that their aggressive intentions then were discarded. He had to make excuses, but, although he was close to disaster, escaped from it.

What is needed now is the inevitable effect will produce the latest information on public opinion and the behavior of the media towards the subject. Do not forget that Porsche episode triggered a cascade in the press articles on the lifestyles of DSK. Now, more than likely lead to fire New York media to concentrate on the private life of the director of the IMF.

Is not this side of the Atlantic and lies on the other? In the days of instant and global information that does not help too much. From yesterday called "well-informed circles," DSK is considered a sex addict in the sense that Americans regard this addiction, and trafficking. There were those who said, in this area, the French are back around and tolerant, while the Americans are too puritanical and are legal sanction to the extent that, in everyday life, we must refrain from actions and gestures that could be interpreted as aggressive.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", that was the argument that some thought they could raise against an adversary that, in public life, insisted on the matter. Unfortunately, here is the villain DSK become a banal American television series, with charges, police forced off the plane ...

A catastrophe from which it seems difficult to recover. Question: If you truly DSK is a sex addict and you know, how could persist in his intention to secure the votes of the French? Is not there a demand for accountability, beyond his recklessness, he should have taken to address the problem or give up his candidacy? Obviously, this is more than infuriating.

Yesterday, the online newspaper published a survey JDD FIFG confirms the comparative advantage of Strauss-Kahn in the French political landscape: not only leads the intention of voting for the first round (26%), but, above all, and according to the same source, is the only one who can be assured of passing the second.

The other socialists and the same Nicolas Sarkozy are in the area of greatest uncertainty and have more or less with the same support that Marine Le Pen (22% and 23%). Its privileged situation explains the fact that DSK is, of all the candidates from left, the one that best fits the criteria of the presidential election.

In my opinion, in fact, the key to the elections, will he or she who knows best situated. Locate in the world in general and Europe in particular. Globalization, the Arab revolt and intense global grind we live require us to be able to tell the country: "This is what we are, that we should aspire, this should be our ambition and that is how France and Europe must stand at new global balance being built before our eyes.

" So Nicolas Sarkozy has not yet lost the game because, thanks to the office he still holds, remains on the scene. Beyond the Libyan episode, is the management of European affairs or the G-20, which constitute so many occasions that may allow this period in which François Mitterrand stressed, in their obsession with "keeping the position of France.

The advantage of DSK was that his office and placed us. Clearly, as director of the IMF, and was in position and was the actor of this return to order widespread. In the present context, the most likely scenario is its de facto elimination of the presidential race and, therefore, of the candidacy of Martine Aubry.

In hindsight, we understand more about the attitude and stubbornness of François Hollande. We all wondered: "Why is stubborn, if a candidate DSK and share the same ideas?." In his heart of hearts, probably François Hollande had some notion of the fragility of DSK ... Meanwhile, such an event occurs, like a volcanic eruption and subsequent lava flows only after we evaluate the new balance of power.

What a question!
