Juliana Chichmanian-Delpy, Brigitte Tanauji-Dahan, Gilbert Stellardo, Cédric Cirasa, Pierre-Paul Leonelli… the figures from the Nice political scene came to launch the campaign of the first UMP candidate to place himself at the starting line for the upcoming presidential elections. Eric Ciotti opens the debates, stating, “The hour of truth has sounded, and there will be many steps to overcome.”
The UMP candidate for the upcoming legislative election in the first constituency will regret the hiccup in announcing the candidacy of the current Minister of the Interior by stating that he “had the legitimacy to present himself to the French people and was never given any gifts. Nicolas Sarkozy overcame obstacles and foiled traps through hard work and courage.” As understood, the candidacy of the UMP President is unanimously supported within the right-wing Nice political faction, which has committed to backing “this start to a beautiful adventure by carrying a message of hope and renewal.”
“Nicolas Sarkozy says what he will do and does what he says. The calm rupture he advocates will forge a campaign of action and truth.” The Chief of Staff for Christian Estrosi has thus launched a campaign that will be either Sarkozyst or nothing in a city like Nice, which could be among those that will matter in the ballot results.
Following Ségolène Royal’s victory within the local Socialist Party, it is thus a confident Nicolas Sarkozy who can count on the support of a large part of his troops from the French Riviera.
