Bertrand Delanoe, "Mayor free" and without centrist allies?

Two days from the first round of municipal elections, the possibility of an alliance in Paris between the left and the MoDem away, Bertrand Delanoe playing at the same time its independence in the capital and its uniqueness within the Socialist Party.

Encouraged by polls that give it between 41% and 43% in the first round, Sunday, the outgoing mayor has hammered all week his intention to be a "mayor free".

"It is more important to m'allier Parisians with that thinking about anything else," he assured Thursday night during its last meeting before the first round, in the twenty-second district.

If he has repeatedly called foot to the electorate centrist, Bertrand Delanoe has always warned that it would not change position between the two towers and that the agreement should therefore be established before the first round.

Hence a tone that rises in the final straight.

MoDem should the "truth" in Paris and in the name of democracy, we must disclose before March 9, the mayor insists that the lists are already PS, PCF, and PRG MRC but not the Greens, outgoing allies, which Autonomous lists in all districts.

The offer of "partnership" made Tuesday by Marielle de Sarnez leader MoDem Parisian, was rejected the following day. "Too many tactical ability," Bertrand Delanoe decided.

"He has a vested interest in what it overturned and that it is the fault of MoDem" analysis of a deputy mayor post. On the one hand it preserves its image as a man open on the other it does shocked person in the Socialist Party.

This decision is a manifestation of "realpolitik" advocates a socialist candidate. "You can not have a group of eight or ten advisers who jump to the rope at all times, a shot to right, a shot to left."

"His DÉMARQUER" ROYAL

Bertrand Delanoë, a great success in Paris put in orbit in a party that should change direction in the fall, does not want to insult the future.

An alliance PS-MoDem in due form the would succeed where Royal failed between the two rounds of presidential election, with his "hand" to Francois Bayrou.

If there is no reconciliation, Bertrand Delanoe preserves its capital sympathy to the left of the party in view of the forthcoming congress.

Henri Emmanuelli said Wednesday on i-TV "its understanding" that there would be no alliance at the centre in Paris after a meeting of the National Bureau of the PS yesterday.

Although "on the merits, Delanoe is centro-compatible (...) he chose to stand out from Royal", which aims to lead the PS, said a national secretary.

"He wants to demonstrate that we can maintain a city that was right for a hundred years without returning to what is the essence of the PS and its strategy of alliances," he says.

The analysis also MoDem course. Bertrand Delanoe is stuck, forced to take to reverse the patent compatibility with the MoDem "issued by Royal last May, says there in the entourage of François Bayrou.

After a cold winter and numerous attacks, the mood has significantly warmed between Socialists and Greens. Two meetings were held to prepare for the negotiations on Sunday.

There are "many more points of convergence than of cleavage, it is a matter of slider," they say in the vicinity of Denis Baupin, a leading environmentalists Paris.

Between PS and MoDem, "we talk once Parisians have spoken," said a centrist party. "No condition" was convened to an agreement, reported mid-week Patrick Bloche, campaign manager for Bertrand Delanoe.
