What will become of France without Madame Alliot-Marie? Throughout his political career, has been Minister of Youth and Sports from 93 to 95 of Defence from 2004 to 2007 (the first woman in that position), the Interior until 2009, Justice Affairs until 2010 and until yesterday , the day he submitted his resignation to the head of state "after weeks of half-truths, media harassment to my family and unfounded criticism" in his own words.
Michèle Jeanne Honorine Alliot-Marie (Villeneuve le Roi, 1946) is the undisputed grand dame of the UMP, the French conservative party which occupies also the vice president. After 18 years - nine of them, followed - as a member of various cabinets of the Republic under the command of two presidents (Chirac, Sarkozy) and three prime ministers (Balladur, Raffarin, Fillon), the phlegmatic Alliot - Marie, recently dubbed maliciously "The Tunisian", has left the Quai d'Orsay by the back door to let bygones be bygones.
Farewell to the gossip and stigma that will forever mark his political biography: those related blunders Ben Ali's regime and the revolution of jasmine that have earned him the popular disrepute after several decades of rigorous service to the country. How is the government of François Fillon after his departure? Well, it was announced yesterday by Elisha Alain Juppe took the portfolio of Foreign Affairs and Gérard Longuet replace Juppe in Defense.
On the other hand, taking advantage of this cabinet reshuffle (the tenth since coming to power in May 2007), Sarkozy has decided to take his faithful Interior Brice Hortefeux, a little burned, and name its political council, perhaps to start preparing the reelection campaign that looks very hard, in the face of the 2012 presidential election.
In its place comes Claude Guéant. Alain Juppe (Mont-de-Marsan, 1945) Former Defense Minister of Foreign Affairs assumes the portfolio without losing his rank of Minister of State, equivalent to vice president, and without leaving the mayor of Bordeaux (a condition that will put Sarkozy in November last to return to the executive).
He was head of French diplomacy from 93 to 95, to the orders of Balladur, and then replaced the prime minister to 97. UMP founded in 2002 and served as president until he had to leave the public by a court order because of its involvement in a case of illegal financing. His career is full of light and shadow and always seems to have come to an end.
But Juppe is a survivor. Has achieved in just three months become indispensable to the current President of the Republic and is living a second youth. Gérard Longuet (Neuilly-sur-Seine, 1946) Former UMP leader in the Senate, assumed the defense portfolio to replace Alain Juppe. He has extensive experience as a politician, minister, regional president, leader of UDF ...
and a smudge on his record due to the perennial financing of parties and the illegal construction of a house in Saint-Tropez. Despite his youthful flirtation with the far right, is considered a stronghold of the center. In fact, the designation is to balance the cabinet after the departure in November Borloo liberal or Morin.
Claude Guéant (Vimy, 1945) Former Secretary General, Elisha, assumed the portfolio of Interior to replace Brice Hortefeux. A Guéant his enemies call him quite bad milk The Cardinal, for his appearance Curillo and referring to cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin were strong favorites of the Bourbon kings.
In his case, he has since 2002 in the shadow of Sarkozy, as head of his cabinet when he was Interior Minister of Finance and then, after his campaign he was running for president, and finally the Elysée, now who is head of State. His experience as Director General of Police in 1994 and a second of Interior between 2005 and 2007 will help you deal with a ministry that is in the eye of the storm and is one of the highlights of the forthcoming presidential campaign.
Brice Hortefeux (Neuilly-sur-Seine, 1958) Another of the faithful of the gang of Neuilly, the wealthy town northwest of Paris where Sarkozy was mayor between 1983 and 2002. Son of banker, close to Sarko since 1976 and godfather to his son Jean, worked with his colleague in the campaign of Chirac's 81, then at City Hall, then in the Ministry of Finance ...
When his friend Nicolas came to Elisha, there has been no Fillon government which has not caught chub: holder of Immigration, Labor and Interior. Was slightly burnt after the spying controversy of Le Monde in October. His dismissal is not a punishment. Sarko wants to remain close to him as it is one of the few who trusts.
So far the new charges. "But what happened to Patrick Ollier?" He asked more experienced readers. As for his relationship with Michèle Alliot-Marie, Minister in turn Relations with Parliament and companion of the lady in his controversial free trip total for the pre-revolutionary Tunisia, has been spared from burning by the bell.
As there was no question of punishing the whole family, good old Sarko has forgotten him. But only temporarily. "Within a few months to approve Senate reform," said Liberation. "Then it's time to leave the government Ollier, discreetly, with the goals accomplished, as if his departure had nothing to do with the relations of his wife and his in-laws with Ben Ali satrap partners or its own with Gaddafi ".
But of course you have to see ...
