After the far-right, extreme left. Five vying for our headliners votes: Arlette Laguillier the eternal, the little kid who goes Olivier Besancenot, the coconut-lab not very cheerful Marie-George Buffet the debonair rebellious Jose Bove and the unknown service, Gérard Schivardi. Champions of the anti-liberal, they are lashing (normal) on the ravages of capitalism and unregulated economic globalization. The arguments vary from one candidate to another and they meet on the contextual analysis, they differ not so much on the responses to on how to contribute. Soon the revolution? It is not won ... Arlette soon Malibu
former employee of Credit Lyonnais, Arlette Laguillier, 67, has probably fought more than really worked. Representing "the camp of the Workers', it is presented to the 6th and final time in the presidential election after his two good scores in 1995 (5.2%) and 2002 (5.7%). It has become so inescapable, a character that nobody really listens to what she says. His immutability, both by its presence only by the content of his speech made it popular beyond its own sphere Elections (sung by starisée Souchon and its puppet Puppets). His party, Workers Struggle, which is one of the founders in 1968, remains obscure structure headed by Robert Barcia, "said Hardy, a businessman allegedly linked to the pharmaceutical industry. This will write a book telling the story of workers' struggles.
As for the FN embodied by its founder, Workers Struggle is Arlette and maintains itself and still the mystery OL choosing not reveal his campaign team. Viscerally anti-capitalist, it presents itself as the only true communist, accused (rightly) the PCF to "manage capitalism," which by participating in socialist governments had lost his revolutionary soul and legitimized decisions far removed from its ideology (eg privatization Air France by Gayssot).
The problem of LO and Arlette Laguillier is to persuade "workers" that Communism is not dead and that voting for the National Front, which has captivated the electorate workers and employees is not a small good solution. But today, its main competitor is Olivier Besancenot with whom she refused to ally themselves while their ideological differences are slim, which created a somewhat confusing which could be fatal to both. Deeply
retirement for Arlette in sunny Malibu!
The postman always rings twice
It became a celebrity, too. Olivier Besancenot, 32 years and once again the youngest elected, piles up again by going after the president noticed a score of 4.25% in 2002. He holds an MA in contemporary history, he chose factor, a profession of letters ... Engaged in Neuilly, the richest city in France and directed by Nicolas Sarkozy some, it is more easily mediated. Young, intelligent, speaking well and what does no harm to our company image, handsome, Olivier could only please. First his party, the Communist Revolutionary League and his mentor, Alain Krivine, who sees in him a way to revitalize a party to the controversial image. And young people fascinated by Che Guevara whose claims to Besancenot and his libertarian side. As Arlette, he knows just talk but she knows better communicate in the media, which earned him move steadily on Canal + zapping through small coups often prepared in advance. As
LO, LCR government denies any alliance with the Socialist Party. This strategy of "independence" may not have the same response in 2002 when the lessons of the scattered voices socialists to "small" left-wing candidates have probably been deductions. On the other hand, is the only way to LCR to continue to exist, unlike the choices made by the PCF and the Greens by displaying their desire to participate in a socialist government, run the risk of being totally atomized .
Cold Buffet
After the defeat of Robert Hue in 2002 and 3.4%, CPF continues his business of self-programmed demolition. The boost will come there Marie-George Buffet, 57, candidate for 2007? The political career of the lady is quite banal history student, she joined the Communist Party in 1969 and the national office of the UNEF. She works a little as joint secretary and was quickly hired by the party as secretary of the Federation des Hauts-de-Seine. Elected in 1977 as deputy mayor of Chatenay-Malabry (92), it is pointed out by Bob (Hue coconut), which has returned to the Central Committee and the national office in 1987. Barely elected member of 9-3 in 1997, she joined the government of Jospin as ministresse Youth and Sports and is known by his pseudo-fight against doping and most enjoy the victory of the soccer players in 1998 for the Cup World which she oversees the proceedings. In 2001, she became the patron of the PCF and leaves Bob, his former mentor, go-pipe breaks in the presidential election 2002.
Marie-George is a clever. She understood that communism alone would not produce anything. After collaborating with the Socialists for 5 years and the disastrous election result of 2002, we had to change the image of the PC. She then turned to the activist community (movement of unemployed people, defending the right of asylum, DAL, etc..) And played the opening with other leftist parties. In the referendum on the ECT, it funded rallies unit allowing the anti-liberal left to speak with one voice. The victory pushed not to repeat this strategy for the presidential campaign. Except she took her former partners for simpletons who wanted to compete well in its slot and support but not his leadership. Result: the Marie-George Buffet may be very cold on April 22 ...
Gentil poppy
is the symbol chosen by José Bové to campaign because it is a flower, so innocent, and especially a marker of pollution. A sort of tackle the Greens and their sunflower. The entry of José Bové in the campaign is not trivial. After the successful campaign of "anti-liberal" against non-TCE, the political power struggles have torn hopes for a unitary candidate in the presidential election, with each side trying to pull the cover toward you. It took the launch of an online petition and collection of 40,000 signatures in two weeks asking Bové to appear on behalf of the alter-globalization so that the latter agrees, stating that "it was long ago that he itched in the abdomen "... Especially its possible imprisonment after his conviction for mowing GMO corn laid on him the media spotlight who have served more than served.
Me, I like Jose. It was first points in common: he lived in Talence where he was born elsewhere and Bazas where he was hidden by friends to escape military service. It has a nice mouth, he says what he thinks (or almost ...), it is kind, funny, true green and unlike Voynet, he did not want to join the PS for a slice officer or elected officials. In addition, he is the only candidate fluent in English and English, is a true internationalist, or as they say "a world citizen." Even if you do not hear much about him in the media except to Topic court, his hearing is real, especially among left intellectuals, teachers, ecologists "nay-sayers" of TCE but also among many precarious young and old. The problem for Bove, is that it came a little late in this campaign and as his program that his ideas are quite messy. Just like his campaign dominated by amateurism, notably in the organization of its meetings (I saw one to piss of laughter on the parliamentary channel which I just find the video for the set line: it is filmed by a cameraman parkinsonnien, the microphones do not work, the sense projo illuminate the scene is so powerful that it blinds everyone Groland Brief ...)
With Schivardi, it shits of course!
You do not know? Me either. No need to be spread over too good man, Mayor Mailhac, a rural town of Minervois and candidate of the Workers' Party , the party that has been the object of suspicion, especially when Lionel Jospin, in 2001, denied any relationship with this organization that he has nevertheless been a member in his youth (I must say that the Workers' Party itself is a bit complicated to understand is broken into several streams).
The face of alcohol in his accent and Schivardi roccailleux lunch frankly make no endorsement for the city, unlike his campaign manager, Daniel Gluckstein , who himself had introduced in 2002. Former member of the PS, he was elected General Counsel of the Aude in 2001 against the official candidate of the PS and cons "intercommunal forced", accused of losing their independence to small municipalities. Defining itself as the representative of the Mayors of France, he had to change his slogan and posters following the legitimate complaint of the Association of Mayors of France. His campaign motto: Europe, France's gravedigger. A sovereignist left defender of public services and rurality. In this context, its main competitor is the movement Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Traditions ideological background but with a much more assertive (Hunters must regret the cheekiness of Bearn Jean Saint-Josse and the pallid Frederick Hihous risk to fish far fewer votes than his predecessor).
At your Che!
Apart Bové who might get the best out of the game, other anti-liberal candidates will be picked up. France is a country long considered too conservative for a revolution. Ultimately, velvet, as in the countries of Eastern Europe (where the CIA has funded and supported the anti-communist movement to overthrow the dictatorial political regimes in place). A candidate is now clearly positioned in this niche. It's called "Gay Ernesto Bayrou" and he advocated "quiet revolution", after no doubt that Sarkozy has abandoned his first campaign slogan "tranquil rupture" (append two words in the opposite direction, it's called an oxymoron ). Bayrou is it the French Gandhi? Answer in the next block also campaigned to end this show stars politic Sarko-cowboy and Segovia GoGirl ! Come!
