There is no doubt that the “priority of priorities” on the 2012 political agenda will be the Presidential election, which will likely also lead to the outcome of the legislative elections, thus composing the framework of the next five years of national life.
A key year also for local politics with Christian Estrosi wanting to take advantage of the dynamics of the creation of the Metropolis to establish his influence over an institution that represents a third of the territory and half of its population, and his number one opponent, Patrick Allemand, who in turn must strengthen his status as the opposition to the mayor of Nice in order to face the FN, which otherwise risks becoming a real alternative in view of the 2014 municipal elections.
Here are the most significant statements by Patrick Allemand.
– “On the occasion of the primaries for the nomination of the socialist candidate for the Presidential election, 30,000 residents from the Cรดte d’Azur participated in this act of democracy. There was a ratio of 10 to 1 compared to the registered. I conclude that our potential is greater, and it is up to us to capitalize on it.”
– “The primary goal is to defeat Nicolas Sarkozy by recalling the record of this five-year term.”
We have moved from Bollorรฉ’s yacht to the bankruptcy of Sea France, from Fouquet’s to the Restaurants du Cลur for too many people, from Triple A to austerity plans…
A general who was all fired up on all fronts now explains to us that we need a captain at the helm for the future!
“The synthesis of this first five-year term can be defined in three words: Degradation, Division, and Disorder.”
Pitting one against the other, those who have little against those who have nothing, workers against the unemployed, citizens against justice, all this is irresponsible activism because it discredits the Republic and its principles.”
“We had heard of an impeccable Republic, and we are witnessing more and more choices and behaviors characterized by a lack of ethics. We must restore a Republic with a project and values.”
Spring risks being a very hot quarter beyond the meteorology and already spring-like climate of our department.
Especially since Patrick Allemand seems to have given up on “constructive” opposition in favor of more penetrating action towards the local political majority of which he is the most ardent critic.
Will there be a “Nice spring”?
