Unable in any case again playing the spoilers

It said the moribund. Unable, in any case, again playing the spoilers. Out rolled in the elections of 2007, the national Front is known that it plays very large in the European elections in June. To provide evidence that it is "in full renewal" and that the events it has experienced are more that a bad memory, as State leaders, Jean-Marie Le Pen, himself head of the list in the East Riding, hopes even the retake the symbolic bar of 10. It is a European election, in 1984, the FN had obtained his first score in double digits at the national level.

To return in anyway a part of the electorate that had exempted it Nicolas Sarkozy at the last presidential, the formation of extreme-right development on the economic and social crisis. A context "in the franco-centré debate and sanction vote", welcomes Louis Aliot, General Secretary of the party, head of the list in the southwest region.

Poster campaign

Aware of being little audible, Jean-Marie Le Pen, 80 years old, met Overdrive: he gave Sunday, a long interview in "Le Parisien", spoke yesterday on LCI and prepares especially a press conference, at the end of the month, to deliver its analysis of the crisis and bombard the head of State. Objective: show that Europe does not protect but destroyed jobs. This morning, Marine Le Pen, who will lead the list in the North, presents a poster campaign denouncing the "catastrophic results of liberal and free Europe" and advocating a return to protectionism reasoned". One of these posters, featuring a worker to the sad eyes, is titrated: "my employment before their Europe." "If it had listened to us, we did would not again!", already pounding Bruno Gollnisch, head of the list in the East.

Cumulation of woes

The bet of the FN is yet not earned. At a little over 100 days of the European party accumulates taunts. Weakened by the departure of many historical frameworks (Carl Lang, Jean-Claude Martinez, Martial Bild, Martine Lehideux...) on a background of war of succession to Jean-Marie Le Pen, it is financially exhausted. The fault in the legislative elections, which were indebted to it (number of candidates did not get the 5 of the vote needed to be repaid) and reduced the annual staffing of the State to which he is entitled. On top of all, the "liner", the former headquarters at Saint-Cloud is not licensee. The FN expected EUR 15 million. With the crisis, the building has already lost its value.

Would the Front have also happened from his conviction by the Court of appeal of Versailles, last week, to repay more than debt EUR 6,33 million and some 600,000 euros of interest to one of its seven outgoing MEPs, Fernand Le Rachinel. "This is a problem for the party to finance the campaign of the European", says Bruno Gollnisch, who said he mortgaged his property and "rented a camper van" for travelling across its constituency. In these circumstances, political scientists are very skeptical on its chances of rebound. Researcher at the CNRS, Gilles Ivaldi shown "in best save the furniture", it is "in tatters". Poll published FIFG yesterday the credit of 6 of voting intentions.
