Primary leaders and outsiders on lesechos

This is a new pavement in the mare. The first in the presidential election, Ségolène Royal announced yesterday that she was candidate in the primaries of the PS, in an interview with "The new Republic" of West Central and "Press Centre" released today. The question "Are you the primary of the Socialist Party candidate", she responds: "I have at length reversed and much consulted.". "The time has come to move forward in clarity and simplicity: my answer is Yes."

Last week, it had already created a shock wave in his party by denouncing the entente cordiale between Martine Aubry, Dominique Strauss-Kahn and it. Indeed, while Martine Aubry, confirmed Wednesday the existence of this agreement three, Ségolène Royal had responded stridently during the weekend. "I did not denounce the Covenant, there is no", was provided in the margin of a convention of the MJS in which she participated in Paris. Those who questioned the meaning of his statements last week, it gives a few details in the interview which appeared this morning in the regional press. "I know from experience that it takes more than a few months to prepare and to gather." "Who sees that the right is already in the field, also it not to cache not", explains-t-t'elle.

The first in the presidential election has therefore taken, a new time, the PS on its head. Last may, when she was at an all-time low in opinion polls and marginalized in his party, Ségolène Royal was yet embraced the agreement between "dsk" and Martine Aubry, transformed into a sort of triumvirate. A clever way to return to the game. It had indicated that it would support "a winning device" of the Socialist Party in 2012, implying that she could not participate in the internal primary. Explaining closer to Martine Aubry and be in contact with Dominique Strauss-Kahn, it stated: "We have to decide all three how we commit in this campagne." Ségolène Royal has therefore changed strategy.

The leadership of the PS, this is the amazement. "It was understood that if Dominique, there will be a transfer of popularity to Martine, and probably not to her, analysis on Rue de Solferino." She realized that she was in the back of a car which was neither the pilot nor co-pilot and that his chances were slim. "Another element of analysis, Martine Aubry will not breaks in the polls and Ségolène Royal, in a better position than in May and now reoccupying the front of the stage (often through the good will of Martine Aubry), tries to play its own partition. "It was obliged to put themselves in the wheel of others to not be released, now it is trying to double aspiration!" fun a Socialist observer. In the entourage of the running in the presidential election, an elected argues that it wanted to get out of the "trap" in which attempts were made to "lock it up" to be free to declare whether it wants to.

His spokesman, the Deputy-Mayor of Laval, Guillaume Garot, challenged yesterday afternoon change of foot. "The winning device which spoke Ségolène Royal does not mean the deletion of this or that candidate to the other." It was there not agreement finalized between Ségolène, Martine and Dominique. The only Covenant that exists, it is to succeed the primary. One thing is certain: there can be no victory for the left without it. "That Ségolène Royal found it also in stating.

"Ségolène Royal is less dangerous in the outside party", saw a few weeks ago a close of Martine Aubry. Not sure that it is not revised his judgment last night.
