France election 2012: Nicolas Sarkozy threatens to pull France out of Schengen zone

France would stay out of Schengen “until negotiations conclude,” he
said.

Since his official campaign launch three weeks ago, Mr Sarkozy has veered
Right in a bid to capture the far-Right National Front vote, last week
saying there were “too many foreigners in France” and promising to
half the influx of migrants.

On Sunday, he said France would not leave policing Europe’s borders to
European “technocrats”.

That reiterated a call France made last year when it refused to allow 25,000
Tunisians migrants fleeing revolution back home to cross the southeastern
border from Italy, which had issued residence visas.

“We must undertake a reform of Schengen as structural as the reform we
have just put in place for the euro,” he said.

His call followed a proposal last week by Britain, France and other European
states for an action plan to stem the tide of illegal migration into the EU,
the subject of a European Commission report due in May.

In a second salvo, Mr Sarkozy called for a “Buy European Act” that
would support buying European products within the continent, along the lines
of the “Buy American Act” to support small businesses and domestic
industries.

Again, he warned that if the EU failed to implement this within a year he
would if re-elected impose a unilateral “Buy French” law.

Otherwise, Mr Sarkozy unveiled few surprises, returning to familiar themes
such as painting himself captain in an economic storm and slamming selfish
elites and weak-kneed intellectuals acting against the “people”.

The loudest cheer came when he said that he was opposed to separate hours for
men and women in swimming pools and Islamic halal meals in school canteens.

Three weeks since he officially launched his re-election campaign, Mr Sarkozy
has so far failed to catch up with François Hollande, the Socialist
front-runner, who successive polls place ahead in the two-round elections on
April 22 and May 6.

He has narrowed the gap in round one, with a poll in yesterday’s Journal du
Dimanche putting him just one point behind Mr Hollande on 27 per cent. But
he trails him by double digits in round two and aides told Le Parisien: “If
he doesn’t scrape back some points in the coming days, it will be all but
over.”

“Help me prove them (the polls) wrong,” he implored supporters.

He also laid into Mr Hollande over his pledge renegotiate the European fiscal
discipline treaty signed by 25 states, but Britain. “Shame on those who
in the name of partisan interests didn’t have the courage to vote it,”
he said. One Socialist campaign official replied that the speech was “pathetic
… electoralist mishmash”.

The two men came face to face at France’s defeat to England at their rugby six
nations match in Paris.

Centrist Modem candidate François Bayrou, currently polling third for round
one, was also present at the game. He slammed the rally, which one newspaper
estimated as costing £4 million, as “indecent” given the
current economic hardships.

This week could prove decisive in the election race ahead of a Friday deadline
for candidates to hand in 500 support signatures from French mayors – a
prerequisite to run.

Miss Le Pen complained on Saturday that she was still 20 signatures short.

Polling at around 17 per cent in round one, her disqualification would
drastically alter the electoral landscape, perhaps boosting Mr Sarkozy’s
score, although commentators now believe she will secure them.

Mr Sarkozy’s Gaullist rival Dominique de Villepin is highly unlikely to make
the grade, however.
