Mardi Gras Ide To Make A Costume
Time passes, cruel, inexorable. Each day, he digs the face of the President of the Republic, planed his credit, eroding its authority devalues his word, squeezed margins initiative.
In mid-November 2010 when, after months of procrastination, Nicolas Sarkozy reshuffled his government, he could have hoped put in place an effective platform for the battle of 2012. The last its five-year note was organized on principles of classical and effective: a president who presides, is responsible for the most part, sets the roadmap and is devoted to economic affairs of the world by chairing the G20, a government that governs led by a prime minister finally acknowledged as such and structured by seasoned ministers, and finally a clear course: continue reforms on behalf of the general interest.
There remained, then, five hundred days before the first round of the presidential election. Enough to initiate a new start. One hundred have passed since then, or rather were squandered in pure loss.
is obviously the case for the government. Than in November will not have held more than three months. Nicolas Sarkozy boasted of being the best HRD of the French political scene. He has been forced to recant and sacrifice two cornerstones of the government team:
the foreign minister and interior minister. In other words the voice of France on the outside and the guarantor of security inside. No less! In the case of Michele Alliot-Marie, his departure became inevitable after the pathetic saga of his vacation in Tunisia, against a background of family affairs, in connivance with the regime of deposed President Ben Ali of repeated blunders and persistent misunderstanding of the movement of story that challenges the past two months, the entire south shore of the Mediterranean. How did she not understand that it was his duty, as far as his honor, to offer his resignation before the imposed? How could she, yesterday, attending a victim of a cabal? How did she not measure the stigma, through it, reached full force the Head of State? Say, for charity, it remains a mystery.
As Hortefeux, which has so long been the voice of his master and so long enjoyed the indulgence presidential assent is even more humiliating: he did not commit any other fault than does be more in the eyes of the Elysee, at the height of its function. It would guard, finally, to forget the Prime Minister. Apparently triumphant in November when he was in some way, imposed its maintenance at Matignon, Francois Fillon is then returned to his tent, 
before the revelations about his Egyptian holiday does the Murano in silence.
It is yet there for the President of the Republic, as collateral damage. Surely he, of course, is the front line. He wanted to gain height, fully assume its functions and authority they require, winning on the international stage thanks to the Chair of the G20. It was a way to regain public opinion and make a difference with its potential competitors in 2012.
However, recent weeks have further accentuated the feeling that the head of state is out of season, buffeted by events, tapped by the emergency to regain control, but so far incapable of doing so. Too sure of himself in appearance, too hesitant and worried actually. Thus, in two months, he has three modes of communication used singularly discordant: in January, a succession of bland vows
supposed "to President" and in February, two and a half hour chat show with the French too carefully chosen so that the result is not soothing, February 27, finally a speech to the former, more rigid solemnity, and each of which will be understood that it was intended to clothe the departure of "MMA" and Brice Hortefeux.

On the merits, the situation is not brighter. Among others, two examples attest. In response to the revolutions in string sweep the Arab world, it is somewhat strange out of the closet the Union for the Mediterranean (UPM), which Mr Sarkozy wanted to make one of his major works. The head of state will always be proud to have been prescient on the subject, but he can not hide that, since its launch with much fanfare in July 2008, UPM is stillborn, paralyzed by a thousand rivalries Paris and contradictions that failed to overcome.
In a different register, the tax reform Heritage, announced November 16 as a major sites 2011 threatens to turn into a headache. For the head of the state it was before 2012 to offload the ball of the tax shield cumbersome and, in compensation, to repeal the tax on capital. Without fear the cacophony of many voices in the majority, and to budget minister, Baroin, explained that the abolition of wealth tax would be fiscally and politically imprudent freestyle. We shall see in the coming days, if Mr. Sarkozy transfers or impose its views, against tout.Le check this sequence is clear: far from regaining expected, the head of state records, week after week, apparently without erosion end of confidence in it by the French, and even its ability to conduct international affairs France - Presidential prerogative of choice - is now widely doubted by two in three French.
