former president Nicolas Sarkozy and former prime minister Alain Juppé faced head in the polls the debate tomorrow, the first among the seven aspirants for the candidacy of center-right to the presidential elections next year in France.
With a wide lead in the polls to overcome the first lap of the 20 of November next, Sarkozy and Juppe will seek not to lose that status in front of the push of the other five applicants.
two, the former prime minister François Fillon and former minister Bruno Le Maire, do not rule out a surprise and qualify for the second round, which will take place on the 27th of November.
More ago are, according to the polls, former ministers Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, the only woman in the running, a representative of the wing to the more moderate of the right; Jean-Francois Cope, the leader of the so-called “right without complexes”, and the chairman of the party christian democratic, Jean-Frédéric Poisson, to whom the polls give a support witness.
The debate, the first of the three meet the candidates -the other two will take place on 3 and 17 November, will also serve to call the attention of the voters in a primary that should serve as the launch pad of a conservative candidate to the presidential elections of April-may next.
The model is the primary that in the fall of 2011, they proclaimed to François Hollande socialist candidate and that cemented his victory half a year later in the presidential elections.
Then, the debates between the candidates of the left managed audiences of up to 5 million viewers, a goal to which they aspire the organizers of the primary conservative.
One of the main unknowns of the debate will be to see if you already anticipated the duel between Sarkozy and Juppé that all the polls predict for the second round.
In recent days, the former president and the former prime minister have been launched underground provocations.
The environment of Sarkozy recalled that in 2005 Juppé was sentenced to two years of disqualification for illegal financing of the party created by his political mentor, Jacques Chirac.
The former prime minister defended himself by saying that it’s already fulfilled his sentence and said that “in judicial matters it is best to have a past than a future”, a clear reference to the research that weigh on the former president.
One of them, by which it is imputed, it refers to the financing of his 2012 campaign through the company Bygmalion, an issue that Sarkozy secures unaware of and that the responsibility of the then president of the party, Cope, who has not ruled out putting the case on the table during the debate.
The appointment may also serve to settle the outstanding accounts between Sarkozy and Fillon, who was prime minister during the five years that he spent in the Elysée, but that has become one of its most fervent critics.
Juppe, who maintains a solid advantage in the polls, you will have to defend their stance on immigration, the most warm of the seven suitors, which may constitute a weak point of his position.
The former prime minister does not surrender to unite all those who want a political turn in the country, including the voters of the left, which has led to criticism from Sarkozy, who believes that this is to deprive the conservatives of the opportunity to elect their candidate.
But Juppé, currently mayor of Bordeaux, ensures that the former multiplies the winks to the electorate’s traditional for the extreme right.
specialists do not expect, however, great developments after the debate, which has been carefully designed by the directors of the candidates ‘ campaign.
Each one of them should respond in 60 seconds to the questions posed by the moderators, Gilles Bouleau of the television “TF1″, Elizabeth Martichoux of the radio “RTL” and Alexis Brézet of the newspaper “Le Figaro”.
in Addition, will be entitled to 30 seconds of rebuttal or to challenge other candidates. In total, each talk approximately a quarter of an hour.
