Strauss-Kahn, exile luxury and gilded prison for "the new man of the French middle class"

Was to represent the French middle class because you no longer at the end of the month. Those who drag in hypermarkets in the suburbs in search of 'fair price'. Struggling with cuts in public school (in Paris there are parents who are tired of turning to alternate classes for their children, looking for "qualified teachers" themselves with ads in the newspapers).

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, economist estimated the brilliant politician, he had to convince the silent majority do not vote more for Nicolas Sarkozy, but for him, one on the left, the presidential election next year. Yes, he should. There 's been like way. Strauss-Kahn would have raped the attendant at the Sofitel New York where he was staying, the officer at his luxurious room.

Next stop, the explosion of a swirl of feedback that well, you knew that DSK, as he is known at home, like women. What is impetuous, that perhaps he had already done so. Four days ago in France consent to the politician has fallen to 42%, 29 percentage points lower than the previous survey (but remains at a very high level).

No, he will not be the champion of the dispossessed, the new Mitterrand unable to report the highest office in the State for the Socialists. Just closed, do not we talk more. The last details of his daily existence, however, since it was bailed, they are absolutely amazing. It is said for some time that the French Socialists have now lost contact with the base.

Living on another planet. The test ... Monsieur Strauss-Kahn is currently staying in a luxurious house in the southwest of Manhattan: € 35 thousand per month rent. This weekend, thanks to the curiosity of journalists of Le Parisien and other French newspapers, new rumors have emerged. Monsieur pay € 140,500 a month to ensure him and his family the necessary security, pay his lawyers (the best place on New York) 4400 € a day and a daily allowance of 4 thousand goes to the detectives who are trying to find incriminating evidence in the life the poor woman who found herself to clean her room at the Sofitel that bloody May 14.

The controindagini costs another € 350 thousand per day, at this delicate stage prior to the hearing on June 6. Exorbitant bail was well paid for out of jail, a million dollars in cash, plus five other warranty and an additional $ 350 thousand of insurance. In short, the "prisoner of luxury 'is spending hundreds of thousands of euro per month.

People will say, if you can 'afford. Apart from the money earned as director general of the International Monetary Fund (€ 350 thousand per year), is married to Anne M. Sinclair, former journalist for the success of French TV. But above all, his nephew, his mother's side, one of the greatest art dealers of the twentieth century, Paul Rosenberg, from whom he inherited priceless masterpieces, some already sold at auction as "Water Lilies" by Monet (20 million dollars) or "La femme en rouge et vert Léger (22.4 million euro).

Now, even at the risk of appearing "old fashioned", as one might like to represent the dispossessed of France? That something goes wrong had already appeared in late April, when Monsieur was photographed running around the center of Paris with Anne on board a black Porsche, brand new. It's more of a car provided by the influential group Lagardere, in the hands of Arnaud Lagardère, a friend of Sarkozy.

Strauss-Khan, in those days, had come to Paris for the final details of his candidacy anti-Sarkozy with fellow socialists. Wednesday 'past him, his wife and daughter Valerie had lunch. They ordered steaks and salads for the modest sum of $ 242 (plus 25 tip, because, you know, Dominique has always been a gentleman).

Just this weekend, for the first time, a representative of the Socialist Party, Arnaud Montebourg, has really taken the distance by the Nawab, locked in his imprisonment golden. "The thousands of dollars spent to discredit the woman groped - he said - and his current residence does not belong hemisphere of socialist values." It was time.
