Prologue in the race for the French presidency Nicolas Sarkozy incumbent administration's supporters on television much needed massage for the soul - and the Socialists organize a US-style primary campaign to demolish their base from the depression. He came, he courted, flattered taught them: During the 90-minute televised debate in the private channel TF1 played Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday evening on the whole spectrum of political communication.
Sympathy for the unemployed, impoverished Senin and victims of violent crime. These side blows against unruly judiciary and deal with the casual errors and omissions in their own government: the Sarko show was a great massage for the soul of the learned Advocate - especially a plea in his own behalf.
Sarkozy's PR strategists had planned carefully: the number of participants (nine), their occupation, social position, unlike the last televised debate before a year, no labor activists disrupted by biting prodding, no questions of political activists. Staged a family seating was arranged around a table, the intimate lighting and the red decor to spread a "cozy fireplace atmosphere.
For the meeting of the President with the "ordinary citizens", the unpopular politicians wanted above all as a national father "of all French people" give - mitmenschelnd, sensitive, close to the heart of the crisis concerns the beleaguered population. Unfortunately, two domestic margins fell in the carefully arranged television appearance: First, the emotional loss of the president against Justice and Police, where Sarkozy judges and security forces for the murder of a 18-year-old from Brittany to the south trestles made - and on Thursday a national strike from the fence broke.
Second, the controversy surrounding the free flights of Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie and Premier Francois Fillion, free of charge in Tunisia and Egypt, the private jets used by business and government. Before the cameras in these affairs were excused sweeping statements, especially as the excursions of the cabinet members recalled the fatal sponsored trips Sarkozy.
Before the assembled citizens - pensioners, welders, pharmacist, farmer, shop assistant - gave Sarkozy the confessor of the Republic. With worn voices down in the face wrinkles, there was emotion for the man who maintains his Alzheimer-stricken wife, insight for the shop owner, who has been attacked four times, encouragement for the single mother.
In the end, all questions with teaching, assurances and promises were served - such as with a commitment to 500 million euros for the fight against unemployment provided. could at least in his own camp Sarkozy points - even if his audience were skeptical. And that was the real purpose of the exercise at the start of his campaign for 2012: Retrieve Only the alienated and disillusioned core voters - the citizens with conservative values, rural communities, the pensioners.
This strategy could Sarkozy, currently winning at 62 percent of the population out of favor, they do. Opposition in a dilapidated condition because the main asset of the President remains the desolate state of the Opposition: squabbling centrist, entangled in ideological battles grave Links Extreme, ecologists without tractive power and leadership to a Socialist Party (PS), the weak, divided, is not credible.
But the far-right Front National is currently a danger to Sarkozy's ruling party dar. The Socialists are out for this - and is calculated on the U.S. model. An exercise in transparency and participation should be the pre-selection of the socialist candidate, "open and close to the people" just like the U.S.
'primaries': Up to 13 i have notified the candidates submit their candidacy in early October is chosen - and unlike the Vntscheidungen of 1995 and 2006 may make this time not only PS-comrades her voice, but every Frenchman aged 16 years. Hoped-for democratic participation of the United maneuver three million citizens.
Ségolène Royal, the defeated 2007 in the race for the Elysee against Nicolas Sarkozy, sees himself in her second start as a natural candidate of the Socialists. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, 61, currently head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and far with the work in the U.S., the lowlands of French domestic politics, despite a kink in the polls as the most promising candidate for PS.
Martine Aubry, 69, should actually be on pole position: The Mayor of Lille, transported 2008 in Reims in windy conditions at the head of the party appear at times as a French Angela Merkel - man of the people solid, respectable. For Francois Hollande, 56, a member of the Corrèze and also head of the regional council of the region's candidacy is both a political task as well as personal account - with his ex-wife, Ségolène Royal.
Arnaud Montebourg, 48, lawyer and member of the Saône-et-Loire, was entrusted by the Party to organize the primaries in 2011 - and appointed himself to the same candidate. Manuel Valls, 48, belongs to the generation of the "forties" - the generation of substitutes who have been waiting for the Mitterrand presidency for their chance - so far unsuccessfully.
The test case turns out to be sure, even now as a focus for new internal party strife, and ugly squabbles among the dozen or declared and undeclared interested. The list of illustrious fellow-PS is not so much for programmatic or ideological differences between factions, rather than rock-hard rivalries.
"Competition is good for democratic business," rüffelt the magazine "Marianne", "but only on condition that it is about the confrontation of ideas, rather than to pure personal ambition." Of this there is a lack of course not the pretenders for the nomination.
