Op-ed: France’s next presidential race may pit Jewish socialist against extreme rightist
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4045463,00.html
In January, the 82 year old neo-fascist Jean-Marie Le Pen resigned as leader of the far rightist National Front party and was succeeded by his youngest daughter Marine. At the beginning of March, the French political system underwent a major shock. A Louis Harris poll showed that Marine Le Pen would score highest in the first round of the 2012 presidential elections. She would receive 23% of the votes as opposed to 21% each for President Nicolas Sarkozy of the right of center UMP and the socialist leader Martine Aubry.
This shock is not due to the fear that the younger Le Pen will become France’s president. This is highly unlikely. What caused it was that this would mean either Sarkozy or a socialist candidate would not be present in the second round of the election, as only the two candidates with the highest score in the first round participate. It reminded the French of April 2002 when Jean-Marie Le Pen confronted President Jacques Chirac in the second round of the presidential elections. Le Pen was heavily defeated and got only about 20% of the votes.
Another recent poll gave the largest number of votes in 2012 to Dominique Strauss Kahn, the socialist Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, who is Jewish. DSK, as he is commonly called, came ahead of Le Pen and Sarkozy. It is not clear though that he is willing to be a candidate.
A further shock for the UMP was the results of this week’s first round of local elections, in which the party barely preceded the National Front.
