Christian Jacob, Jean Leonetti, Hervé Gaymard and Nicolas Forissier are vying for the Presidency of the UMP group in the Assembly. In fact, only the first two seem to be able to prevail. The race for this key post for the majority, freed by the transfer of Jean-François Copé at the head of the presidential party, gave rise to severe rat race, centrist and liberal claiming a re-balancing after the Government reshuffle. The UMP deputies pronounce tomorrow morning by secret ballot, a second round of voting is likely to differentiate between the two candidates arrived in the head. "This will be super-serré," said a Minister who knows well the Assembly. Most importantly, the bitter battle could leave traces.
Christian Jacob
On paper, the President of the commission on sustainable development, fifty-one years old, appears favorite. Because he is a former RPR, like the majority of UMP deputies. Because this former trade unionist, "farmer in politics", is very popular among the troops. And because this Chirac supporter has the support of Jean-François Copé, although the latter said to stick to a "strict reserve duty": as Deputy of Seine-et-Marne, it is his right arm in the club generation France. Christian Jacob in plays. "It is essential that the Government, the party and the group work in tight rows," insists, denying any reluctance of the Elysee Palace to the idea that "clan Copé" preserves the Group: "I was the delegate Minister Nicolas Sarkozy when he was at Bercy." There is no mistrust between us. Otherwise, would have I offered, eighteen months ago, to return to the Government "Proposal that it had declined" to remain in the Assembly", insists. Christian Jacob was the first candidate, soon done redesign.
Jean Leonetti
There are large on the heart. Vice-Chairman of the Group since 2005 - and the right arm of Jean-François Copé since 2007 title-, Jean Leonetti publicly took the defence of the Deputy-Mayor of Meaux had been accused of conflict of interest by Martin Hirsch and publicly pleaded for his arrival at the head of the UMP. "Very soon", he warned him of his desire to succeed him to the group, getting, he said in response: "this will not arise, because you are the Government." But, this, Jean Leonetti is always MP and Jean-François Copé supports another. After a pass from weapons public Tuesday, the two men had a frank explanation Wednesday. "It cannot be said, I'm going to UMP for open Windows and out of the group by closing all doors," slice Leonetti breaking with the roundness that characterizes. Deputy-Mayor of Antibes, this hospital practitioner of sixty-two years is specialized in ethical questions. Member of the radical party, he has the support of the centrist wing of the UMP but doesn't carry this label slung: "I myself does not name of sensitivity but on behalf of legitimacy." It also avoids rengorger signal sent Tuesday in his favour by Nicolas Sarkozy, as the argument can be double-edged in jealous politicians of their autonomy. In his profession of faith, it is rather in the wake of François Fillon, ultra-populaire among the members.
Hervé Gaymard
That seeks the President of the General Council of Savoie A get a post of Vice-Chairman of the Group Or to highlight local purposes His candidacy at the head of the UMP group in any case is "a step in his political reconstruction work", five years after his resignation from the Ministry of the economy because of the scandal caused by his apartment to function. Hervé Gaymard arises in "candidate of unity and calm." In his profession of faith, this ex-RPR also snuggle members, promising to help fight the battle for the 2012 elections. "I will ensure that you can count on all the resources of the group to prepare in the best conditions for this election," he assured. Member since 1993, appointed Secretary of State as early as 1995, it is, of all the candidates, "the one who has the most experience", insists Member Lionel Tardy, neighbor of Haute-Savoie, who contends despite its affiliation to the Liberals. But if it can snack votes to Christian Jacob, his chances seem to be reduced.
Nicolas Forissier
Last Tuesday, Member of Parliament for Indre-et-Loire arraigned François Fillon on "injury of the Liberals" of the UMP by the shuffle. The next day, Nicolas Forissier, forty-nine years, is worn candidate to the Presidency of the group with the blessing of the leader of its sensitivity, Hervé Novelli, just landed from the Government. Member since 1993, former Secretary of State for Agriculture (from 2004 to 2005) and member of the Finance Committee, author of amendments designed to encourage investment in SMEs, this liberal elected is the least known of the four candidates. Nicolas Forissier has no chance to win but wants to "reaffirm strongly the existence of the family of the reformers", i.e. be counted in the first round. And after "After negotiations can begin," said Hervé Novelli, who adds: "There are commissions." Liberal Presidency it the running Economic Affairs released Patrick Ollier to a Commission of des Government.
