They think more than one thing ensure their reelection to avoid the waves

This time, it cannot be criticized for having neglected the dialogue: for the past two months, the economy Minister, Thierry Breton, multiplies the consultations. The CEO of both companies, Gérard Mestrallet and Jean-François Cirelli, are working to answer all the questions posed by members. Everything is done to succeed the GDF-Suez Merger and promote energy crisis, the emergence of a gas group capable of resisting the giants that are emerging on the world stage. Everything is done... except the electoral context, which lends itself poorly to the lifting of a taboo: breaking down the participation of the State in the capital of gas of France from 70 to 34. In other words, to privatize the company. A large Word, during the election period. "ll there has no majority for this", was warned by Bernard Accoyer, President of the UMP group, in June last at the address of the Prime Minister. He was not sure that there is a 7 next September, date set for the examination of the text in the National Assembly. As stronger than the industrial interest, there are electoral calculations which are not all in the same direction: the President of the Republic wants to act until the last minute of his mandate. It therefore supports the merger, but on condition that it does not give rise to social disorder. The Prime Minister would leave his name in bold and useful to the country reform. He shows him also very ranging, but after the failure of the first contract hire, credited with elected officials is very began. The President of the UMP is, cautious since the beginning: Nicolas Sarkozy does not want to go, as during the crisis of CPE, held hostage to a social movement as possible, which would create a bad atmosphere before the presidential election. It is even less inclined to take risks that it undertook, when he was Minister for the economy, to not bring the participation of the State in SFM below 70. Rest the 364 UMP deputies. They think more than one thing: ensure their re-election, to avoid the waves. The privatization of GDF is contrary to their wishes, as she wakes up the left, which announces to back to a battle of unprecedented amendments. It could also precipitate in the street of the thousands of officials mobilized on the defence of vested interests.Hence their eagerness to find a plan B. The meeting of the UMP group, today, will allow Dominique de Villepin to assess its margin for manoeuvre: low, if not void, in view of the contradictions in which the French right eventually to lock up. She continues to denounce the French delays, but is mostly nothing pushing, it is concerned about the weakness of the French companies, but is reluctant to give them the means to strengthen; It advocates the rupture, but fits the ambient conservatism. It is understandable that the electoral period make cautious, but if the presidential election does not serve him to clarify its doctrine once for, it risks becoming bogged down in a "or or" little consistent with the interests of the country.
