The bullfighter remained standing, in the middle of the arena, flanked by his praetorian guard acting as picadores.
The democratic “hold-up” did not take place and the conspirators, who were indeed inside his party, had to abstain.
The “gift” from The Republicans who cannot find peace away from power and its delegates, failed to enact a “respectful exit”.
However, François Fillon believes that victory in the primary was the anointing that the Pope gave to the crusaders and avoided the “political assassination” that had been promised to him, not by the magistrates but by certain sectors of his political family.
In any case, this past week will leave a significant ambiguity during this highly fluctuating electoral period.
Read the statements of Christian Estrosi, who went from: “My candidate will be the one who carries out the program of @François Fillon but who can unify the French and the activists.”
Except that, the program of François Fillon without François Fillon is no longer the program of François Fillon, isn’t it Mr. Watson?
So we move on to: @François Fillon must give us the necessary tools for unity.
But isn’t the victory in the primary and the unanimous decision of the LR Political Bureau this Monday enough? What belly dance must François Fillon perform to please Christian Estrosi?
We’ve read more enthusiastic declarations of support.
Of a completely different tone are the statements of Eric Ciotti who now sticks to the candidate full-time and doesn’t miss a single meeting. Indeed, for a ministerial backseat… that and much more!
For him, “François Fillon is the indisputable and undisputable candidate of our political fold. It’s time for the campaign for victory” – that is his battle cry.
We await the sequel.
