FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“I will be the president of a republic much stronger than the markets, a
France stronger than finance,” he said, reiterating his pledge to
reorient the European fiscal compact towards growth.
“I will be a president of justice. Before taking any decision, I will ask
myself: ‘Is this fair?'”
“We have waited too long – 10 years in opposition. We have a duty to win.”
Mr Sarkozy had insisted in recent days he could “feel the wave rising”,
promising an “historic” show of force in the square where he held
victory celebrations five years ago but also notorious as the spot where
French kings had their heads chopped off.
After a brief surge, the latest polls suggest Mr Sarkozy is heading for the
electoral guillotine – tipped to trail Mr Hollande narrowly in the first
round of the election next Sunday, only to lose the second round two weeks
later by up to 14 percentage points.
A formidable political animal, Mr Sarkozy has led a “carpet bomb”
campaign shifting from one theme to another and starting with an unlikely
rebranding exercise to shed his “president of the rich” tag in
favour of the “people’s president” battling Parisian “elites”.
He went on to cast himself as the only “captain” able to weather the
economic crisis, telling the French they should emulate the Germans by
injecting more flexibility into the labour market.
When that failed to strike a chord, he lurched to the Right to mop up National
Front votes on hot button themes like immigration, welfare abusers and
keeping halal meat out of school canteens.
In recent days he has insisted that Mr Hollande’s spending plans risk bringing
France to its knees, turning it into a new Spain or Greece.
Despite all his efforts, a damning Ifop poll for the Journal du Dimanche
newspaper – the nation’s oldest such survey – found that 64 per cent of the
French disapprove of him.
The figure is far higher than the 46 per cent disapproval rating of Valérie
Giscard d’Estaing, the last French president to fail to win a second term,
in 1981.
There was a definite air of resignation among supporters on Sunday. “I
thought he made a good and courageous speech, but I don’t think it will
change things as the gap is just two wide,” said Bertrand Leblanc, 66,
from Paris.
“It’s too easy for the other guy who has done nothing to promise the
earth. People want to believe him,” he said.
Mr Hollande, The jocular, unassuming contender is promising to “profoundly
change” France in order to maintain much of the welfare state.
He has promised to reduce France’s budget deficit to zero by 2017 and has been
outspoken on raising taxes on the rich, but has offered few details on how
to cut state spending or create growth.
Yesterday, Mr Sarkozy also promised to tackle the growth issue by saying the
European Central Bank should do more to promote economic growth – a call
likely to put him on collision course with Germany.
With ten candidates in the presidential race, a bitter duel for third place is
shaping up between Marine Le Pen, the far-Right National Front candidate,
and her Left Front rival Jean-Luc Mélenchon – the surprise success of the
campaign who pulled in a crowd of 120,000 in Marseilles on Saturday.
