Re: French 2007 legislative elections round 2 (none / 0)

Question about Juppé. Isn't Sarko actually happy about that? Wasn't Juppé the man pushed by Chirac?

Sarko considers Chirac a done deal, and doesn't mind using former Chirac supporters. Indeed his government has more former Chirac supporters that rallied to Sarko in time, and fewer classical Sarko supporters who have been supporting him since 2002.

Because of Juppé's condemnation in court, he wasn't a rival for Sarkozy anymore.

OTOH, Fillon the PM might be happy to be rid of a man as important as he is.

He could have done that also to follow the more to keep friends close, enemies closer...
