Little man gets big
His real name is Sarkozy de Nagy-Bosca. It is Hungarian and it means "little marshy place". A predestined name. Physically, with his hangdog eyes, it reminds me of Sylvester Stalone, muscles inflated helium and less sure. It is often presented as excited. It is true that he has plenty of nervous tics (including the mouth and shoulder) and he never stays in place (when it is moving, unless it is seen 1m58). Perhaps because it is a busy man. From the age of 11 years, the question "what-would you like to do later?" He replies, "President of the Republic", as De Gaulle was in power at the time.
Sarkozy was born in 1955 advertising a father from a noble family and Catholic Hungarian mother and a daughter of a Jewish doctor in catholiscisme converted (which will Sarkozy later to dredge Jewish voters by recalling the descent) who, after her husband was unfaithful or did the coach, also became a lawyer. Education of young Nicolas bad start since redoubled his sixth. bravely overcoming this first failure, as he launches his mother in law studies. To finance his studies, he does odd jobs and is already experimenting with his idea to work more to earn more. After a Master of Private Law (1978), he returned to the IEP in Paris but comes out without a diploma because of a zero playoff pointed in English (he has since made little progress but managed to seduce the U.S.). Finally, he managed the assistance of counsel (1981) and quickly became a partner in a large firm specializing in real estate law will ensure its beautiful annuities (240 000 euros of dividends received in 2002!). He married a permière in 1982 with a Corsican, and takes as best man, Charles Pasqua, about which he said it was "his double" (emphasis less). In 1989, he throws the woman to Jacques Martin (who is no longer a place), Cecilia, and married her in 1996 with the prestigious witnesses Martin Bouygues and Bernard Arnault (are two of the largest fortunes Both France and the head of a media empire). His political
early. He was barely 20 years old when he attended his first political rally in support Chaban in the presidential election of 1974. Member of the RPR at its inception in 1976, he became a councilor in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1977 and then mayor of that city in 1983 after the untimely death of his predecessor and nose and beard Pasqua who was running for the chair. The ball of betrayal has just begun and with it the meteoric rise of Sarkozy: in 1983 more as mayor, he was elected to the regional council of Ile-de-France (until 1988) then 1985 at the General Council of Hauts-de-Seine (the department's smallest and richest of France) chaired by his first mentor Pasqua until 2004, when he "sells" its up to Sarkozy.
Besides its local mandates, it has national responsibilities: Member of Neuilly in 1988 and constantly re-elected in the 1st round, he became budget minister and spokesman of the government by Baladura after the tsunami, tidal right in the parliamentary elections of 1993. 1993 is a milestone for Sarkozy: first entry in a government and national hero with the taking of hostages from kindergarten through Neuilly a desperate man who made believe he was girded with explosives and was shot like a dog by the RAID even though he could be restrained without bloodshed (using hypodermic bullets for example). To thank Baladura, Sarkozy decided to support him against Chirac in the 1995 presidential. This betrayal will be a fiasco cost him dear: private post in the Juppe government and disgrace (transient) in the RPR.
This little man with lots of resources, it is again virgin, becoming spokesman for the RPR from 1995 to 1997, then acting president in 1999, when he headed the list of RPR-Democracy Liberal in the European elections of 1999 with a beautiful result frigged (provided that history repeats itself?).
defeated but not dead, Sarkozy began a journey through the desert during which he resumed his work as a lawyer and weaves his web of influence that extends to the United States. The score of African Chirac in 2002 Matignon her expectations but it will "only" the Interior Ministry where he works to erect a police state (by the Homeland Security Act of 2003 supplemented by Law Perben , DNA mass registration is extended to anyone suspected of a crime other than financial ...).
The defeat of the right to regional and cantonal elections in 2004 led to a mini cabinet reshuffle in which Sarkozy is leaving the Place Beauveau to Bercy where he was noticed by receiving the Scientologist Tom Cruise. At the same time, he raided the UMP with a score "on Chirac" 85% of the vote and staged his election as Napoleon at his coronation. After the "no" referendum on the TEC, in good Gaullist Chirac, who should have resigned rather turns this incompetent Raffarin tintin-and replaces it with his faithful dog City (perlinpin) pin. Sarko gnawing at the bit to inherit a huge department (Interior and Regional Planning) with the rank of No. 2 Government. Above all, he combines the post of head of the party and Minister of State, what Chirac was banned in 2004 (but hey, that Chirac, eh?). The real boss of France, he and we need all the guile of Chirac to curb its enthusiasm.
Today, Nicolas has become powerful, very powerful since it received the support (political, military and financial) of the masters of the world (translate the U.S. neocons). Especially in what Sarkozy is worrying because he so admires the United States is prepared to offer France ...
If Sarkozy scares citizens base but also to media , some have realized that this could also be lucrative. Example log bayrou Marianne who devoted in its issue of April 14 to 20 whole folder which has been so successful that they were out of stock within 48 hours (300,000 copies sold)! Like what the bizness of fear also works for those who report it.
Work more to get more fuck
is his favorite slogan: "Work more to earn more." As a liberal, the reduction of working time is definitely not a social advancement allowing man to gain more freedom. Rather it is a heresy that runs contrary economic global movement. Besides, he says, and therefore we must believe: "France (that fat lazy) has become the country that works the least in Europe." To be the best, we must work harder and bad for productivity, the only real indicator to measure work performance. Out in this field, France is champion of Europe.
This sensible upgrade work does not, however, is for executives who already crumbling under the overtime hours (and that Sarkozy promised to upgrade 25% more) but to the employees and workers in the competitive sector. How many people have had to accept to work more and thus earn less to keep their jobs due to the threat of outsourcing? In addition, more work when you are maneuvering or VRP with wages over the daisies mostly stands for jeopardizing his health, reduction of leisure and end involvement in the sphere of associations. Return to alienation at work dear to Taylor and Ford. As if the media stupidity was not enough, Sarkozy feels good to add the brutalization by work. Long live slavery!
Sarkozy is optimistic. Thanks to him, he wants (he does not undertake, shade) to achieve full employment in less than 5 years. Knowing that with the combined effect of declining population and the baby boomer retirement, the number of entrants to the labor market decline, the unemployment statistics will always be hacked and all that Sarkozy wants to force those who refuse to work the job offered, one might think will happen to achieve that goal. As in the States, his model ...
Sarko and Sego
are in a boat
The similarities in the programs are obvious: social welfare, housing, family, pension, Europe, outsourcing, utilities in neighborhoods and rural areas. It is full cut and paste. But Sarkozy Royal is more explicit than the text of propaganda is quite poor. Sego, Sarko is the light. When talking about odre just Sego, Sarko replies: "I consider that the authority and respect are fundamental values of our society." But hey, is not Sego Sarko, she does not - or at least does not say - as far as him. No limits
is ultimately what bothers with Sarkozy. One has the impression that he has no limits. Example with its proposed immigration department. Besides the outcry it provoked on the left but that delighted De Villiers and Le Pen, Sarkozy defended himself (TF1), saying that France was the only country in Western Europe (15) do not have this type of ministry and that damn wood, it's not normal to be still lagging behind. Audit by the issuance Freeze , only one country - England - has a dream that department as Sarkozy. We would have preferred that it be the socialos who do the job but this has speaks volumes about their ignorance ...
Also on his control over the media. Sarkozy is the friend of all the major media owners and TV channels and radio. It can be fired overnight a journalist known and recognized (Genestar of Paris Match, the editorial 'chief Figaro), prohibit the publication of a book p Resentment his wife in a less than flattering. But it may well do nothing and his wishes are still true. Example with this censorship suffered by Laurent Bazin, featured presenter on the channel i-TV (Canal + / Vivendi).
Sarkozy's power is really enormous. Rumors of attacks on Al Qaeda rancid sauce circulating on the net. Mullah Omar, still on his moped mop Pigeot 104, warned the armed forces stationed in Afghanistan to withdraw quickly. France is of course concerned. Attack if it happens, it would be well justified by the disregard of the ultimatum. But Sarkozy, who can count on the CIA and Gladio network to commit this kind of horror on our soil can also play the savior, like Chirac in 1986 with the hostages in Lebanon. Two French members of an NGO operating in Afghanistan are threatened with being beheaded by their captors if France did not withdraw its troops within a week . A timely release by a joint Franco-American between the two towers would, no doubt, to glorify Nicolas Sarkozy may well highlight international credibility and effective fight against terrorism. In short, these are only hypotheses, but certainly ...
What is certain is that we must be totally stupid or death threats to vote Sarkozy. Bush has succeeded in being elected in 2000 and 2004 through rigged electronic voting machines. In France fortunately, electronic voting will be marginal, so no cheating possible in the final results. There is hope ...
Orange, oh hopes
In fact, the vote Sarkozy will be conditioned by the right-wing voters who realize risk that Sarkozy embodies democracy will turn to the tone below, ie mol-Bay. Bayrou, who has adopted the emblematic colors of the Orange Revolution (Ukraine, etc..), Said the center but the center is right, he is right. The problem perhaps is that the program Bayrou is more left than Ségolène Royal. We can therefore suggest that anti-socialos Royal Bayrou vote as called traitors Rocard and Kouchner Allègre (close Jospin) who, himself, has joined the rebel outright Bearn.
Bayrou could really spring a surprise. With his loser image, it has a lot of credit in the suburbs dropped. He managed to dredge ecologists tend Hulot (those on the right, whatever). His argument carries rally because he types on both the UMP on the PS he accused of having blocked the change that now everyone is claiming. He therefore proposed a kind of peace of the brave, where everyone would join and would not even have a way forward for common joy and hope. It's beautiful like John Paul II or Benedict XVI. Amen!
Messiah? But uh
Bayrou President? Ugh, no one believes (Jesus Mary Joseph) but little sheep notes? Finally, is the least worst. OK, it is liberal, he frequents shady environments well known as the conspiracy Trilateral Commission, he is Catholic (as Sarko and Sego), he believes he is a farmer because he knows how to drive a tractor It is Atlanticist (like others), it has racehorses (which won her a lot). But other than that, it is quite common. In addition, it is the corner is a Aquitaine.
His program tote dizzy, not less than 18 themes developed with interesting ideas. But from theory to practice, eh, there's often a gap we try to fill in the next election due by promising change, the real.
In fact, Bayrou is still a danger to democracy, at least in its pluralistic dimension. Indeed, if he wins, he could be a sprawling liberal party that obscures all other parties not affiliated with this ideology. The single thought that cleaves paradoxically become dominant. This would allow another side to the anti-liberals to recompose also united in pole, then louder and more audible now, that for once giving new impetus to political life and new hope for a better world for the losers of the neoliberal capitalist farce.
And me in all this?
For the first time in my life, I will not vote. Every time we made the same move that voting can change lives. Locally, I agree. At the national level, it is a masquerade, a holdup. This only serves to legitimize a person and / or camp. In 2002, the French believed in change, the government of national unity as we sell today Francois Bayrou. We saw the result. Why would this suddenly different? For this it would have had to change the operating rules of the Republic who go in a more democratic (prohibition of multiple directorships in number and in time, proportional, repeal of the Senate, increasing the powers of parliament and weakened the powers of the President, etc..). The opposite happened. Everything is locked and it is always the same ones who benefit. I do not see how you could reverse things with the current leading contenders despite campaign promises.
But not voting is not an act of abandonment of my civic duty. On the contrary. I want to get involved. And begin at the local level. How many of us follow what is decided in the council Municipal our county, the council, regional council? Personally, I am making this effort by reading the papers and proceedings published, wherever appropriate, on the websites of local authorities concerned. But I've never attended a counseling session. I decided to do it now. And to report in this blog. Before I get one day as a candidate in an election.
My slogan policy back to the politicians!
meantime, your comments on the results of the 1st round ...
