On December 25, 2011, this Blog published an article entitled "FRENCH PRESIDENTIALS: THE RACE FOR 500 "SPONSORS". The reality of what was described in this article was revealed in a PRIME TIME interview of Marine LE PEN on French Television yesterday evening.
The circumstances are very easy to present. In 2002, to the stupefaction of the Socialists their candidate Lionel Jospin, was pushed out of the second spot by Jean-Marie LE PEN, the father of Marine LE PEN, the then Leader of the National Front !!! Jacques Chirac, however, became President after the run-off !!!
Now President Sarkozy and the UMP Party and François Holland and his Socialist Party, are both anxiously looking over their shoulders !!! No one has forgotten what happened in 2002 and everyone knows that the situation is ripe for a repeat scenario !!!
Marine LE PEN has a softer and more convincing style of speaking than her father. In her interview she virtually said that she was up against a brick wall when talking to Mayors and asking them to sponsor her candidature !!! The UMP and SOCIALIST party instructions were; no sponsorships for the NATIONAL FRONT !!! It is, however, a fact that in virtually all opinion polls Marine LE PEN has obtained at least 20% to 25% of the votes.
The French Constitution, in this case, does not punish anyone who interferes with the democratic right to sponsor and vote for a candidate. This is a flagrant abuse of power. No one can now act to change things, but when the General Election takes place after the Presidential elections, beware if the National Front holds the balance of power !!!
