Municipal: FN plays anti-sarkozysme

Local elections are not the "cup of tea" of the National Front which feeds only meagre ambitions for the city, acknowledged Thursday its president Jean-Marie Le Pen. In the absence of prospects for success or even maintaining the second round in most cities, the FN had only a rejection of the national "Sarkozy President" and "his presidency absolute."

Local elections "it is not quite the cup of tea" of the FN. And this campaign, which comes against a backdrop of severe financial difficulties for the party has been "more difficult this year it was seven years ago," Mr. detailed Le Pen during a press conference.

The party of the extreme right is extremely weakened by the collapse of financial and electoral laws. The seat, the great "ocean liner" overlooking the Seine Saint-Cloud, is still not sold, while the FN must reimburse important deadlines to absorb part of the cost of recent campaigns.

The empty coffers, it's hard to cover the cost of campaign. As a result, many managers have not launched and the FN does not show up everywhere, including in areas where it has done in the past successfully, as in Seine-Saint-Denis. "People are afraid of being implicated," acknowledged leader of the extreme right.

But "we can be elected," he stressed, highlighting the voting method, which is played in part by proportional representation. "We do have that, perhaps, a few mayors, including those of Cluses (Haute-Savoie), Noyon (Oise) or Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais), where is his daughter Marine, at he repeated. But "we hope to have a lot of municipal councillors."

"I therefore make a solemn appeal to all voters french (...) reminding them that the election is an election by proportional representation and that we can have an elected," the head frontiste launched.

Far from putting forward local concerns, Jean-Marie Le Pen remains faithful to its tropismes and seems to rely on a rejection of the majority UMP by voters frontistes seduced by Sarkozy in the presidential election. "These elections are political elections," insists he, "there will be no other national consultation, practically, by the year 2012".

Therefore, a vote of "resistance against the policy pursued by Mr Sarkozy and his presidency absolute" for by Jean-Marie Le Pen.

The record is "unfortunately disastrous," he attacked Thursday, from the length of his favorite themes, insecurity, which "has grown steadily", which taxes have not dropped or the construction of Europe, revived by the "outrage" of the "mini-treaty", passing through immigration, in his view favoured by the current policy.

Even if this message goes, the results will not be bright, anticipating many activists. Their leader, who is trying to downplay the stakes. Whatever the outcome, "I do not suiciderai," he joked Thursday.
