I decided to be a candidate to the Presidency of the Republic. "This sentence, Dominique de Villepin does not made it, nor that he referred named Nicolas Sarkozy. But, before 6,000 followers - according to the organisers - gathered Saturday at the Halle Freyssinet, in Paris, former Prime Minister has little left cast doubt on the ambitions of his new party, called the "United Republic": "change the course of things" in 2012. "An alternative is essential ...". I am committed. I measure the adventurism of .... "This is the burst time", he said, while his troops chanted "Villepin President." And the last head of Government of Jacques Chirac to emphasize taking very gaulliens accents to better make the parallel with the anniversary of the appeal of 18 June 1940: "something rises again in France, something which will never cease in those months, to grow up". Resistance, therefore, to sarkozysme, charged with "back" mis and public freedoms "tipped blast France."
"Return of the 35 hours"

Anxious to "collect" the disappointment of 2007, aware that his political space is limited between a Sarkozy still high in voting intentions and a François Bayrou who will re-center, Dominique de Villepin has multiplied the foot, all calls. With a predilection for these "orphans of the Republic" which, particularly in the suburbs, take refuge in abstention. The attention of voters from the left and more of the centre, he referred to the "desperation" of workers, deplored "the social injustice" and "decline" in freedoms, castigated the "Kingdom of the motivations and the small plaçous" and promised to overthrow "the bastilles of money". A speech is not reminiscent of the "social fracture" denounced by Jacques Chirac in the 1995 presidential election. For centrists, he also recalled that he had "reduced the deficit of 20 billion euros" at the time of its passage at Matignon and denounced, as François Bayrou, "collusion" between the power and the media. But Dominique de Villepin sought to leave the door open to sympathizers UMP. Not content to quote Jean-François Copé, Gérard Larcher or Jean-Louis Borloo, wished an increase in the statutory hours of work. "We must return, which has never been done, the Act on the 35-hour," he insisted.
Remains whether this speech will in Dominique de Villepin to progress in the polls to appear, in fine, as a credible alternative. The risk exists that it not be perceived, in the eyes of the French, by the antisarkozysme. "This new party has only one objective: use the ambition and the bitterness of a man", struck in a press release Marc-Philippe Daubresse, Member of the Government, and Deputy Secretary General of the UMP.
The Prime Minister knows, who assured that he had "no grudge" and committed "as opposed to anyone". And who took care to make a few proposals, the establishment of a quota of young people in large companies in the "sanctuary" of the education budget, through the election of "neighbourhoods"Councils", retirement at points or a tax reform (new tranche of tax, suppression of the ISF and the tax shield). "A certain idea of the France", slipped. Dominique de Villepin will also have to operate his party with little money and few. This weekend, it was registered only a single rally surprise, in the person of his former Minister Azouz Begag. The name of "dual culture", keeps in parallel the Modem card...
