Warm up the engine of the French presidential elections. Sarkozy in trouble

The French government has made today announcing the dates of presidential elections to be held April 22 and May 6, 2012 to mid-June followed by those policies and within the UMP working at a fast pace to raise the popularity of Nicolas Sarkozy in view of the race for the Elysee reappointment. The order of battery pack to catch up in the polls is shaking off the promises of 2007, but did not formally renounced.

Rather delicate undertaking, in which - according to the newspaper Le Monde - is at the forefront of the Minister for Agriculture Bruno Le Maire. We must restore confidence to the French and thus popularity to the president in recent days that just celebrated its fourth year in office with a budget in the negative stressed by almost all the press beyond the Alps.

How? According to the minister Le Maire, through a "French dream" that proposes a new role for France abroad and a new social compact internal, branded as the model for the Ps-charitable items on young people, a constituency traditionally closer the Socialists, the UMP engaging in a campaign on the issue of access to the work of new generations.

To inaugurate the new course, the popular Sarkozy must first deal with the promises of 2007 and a political project that today, four years later, it seems no longer to convince the public. The shortcut seems to be less painful to dismiss criticism and discontent as a result of the economic crisis, in effect transforming a situation which has in fact made the bumpy Sarkozy presidency, in the opportunity of a change of direction politically.

According to the minister Le Maire, "It is the program in 2007 to be obsolete, but the world of yesterday." Translated it means that there will be more space, at least not in the foreground for some of the warhorses, used by Sarkozy in the presidential campaign of 2007 than during most of his presidency as the issue of security and the national identity .

"Let's stop asking who we are - said in recent days-le Maire - instead work to decide what we want to be." Moreover, that an urgent change of course at home UMP, seem to confirm any investigation on the guidelines of the French. Also this month, in fact, according to TNS-Sofres poll for Le Figaro Magazine, the thermometer election punishes the president a tight nailing a 20 percent approval rating, three points lower than in April.

Not only that, if 76 percent of respondents say they have more confidence in Sarkozy, 55% of those who sympathize with the right to recognize a growing role to the leader of the Front National Marine Le Pen. According to Edouard Lecerf, director of the TNS-Sofres, Sarkozy can only count on her: "There are investigators who argue that the UMP, and fewer and fewer." But on the other side does not seem to see the popular alternative to the race of the Elysée 2012: Despite a consensus (33 percent) against Prime Minister Francois Fillon, for the most part seem to be missing soldiers or dolphins are ready to enter scene at the right time instead of Sarkozy.

UMP is the political future, for now all in the hands of the president. Tiziana Guerrisi - Letter 22
