Raymond Couderc stagnates at 22 and the FN is only 7

Would aasian image of its President at the top Word, the Languedoc-Roussillon region be particularly allergic to orders coming from Paris This seems to be the case, judging by the extreme fragmentation of supply (11 lists in competition) and the multiple conflicts "local-national". If instances of the PS, rue de Solferino, preferred to invest the Mayor of Montpellier, Hélène Mandroux, not the unmanageable Georges Frêche, at the risk of play into the hands of the right, the UMP, she chose the first magistrate of Beziers, Raymond Couderc, while the Mayor of Palavas felt having won the primary right: at the time, Christian Jeanjean was a dissenting list.

The Modem, it was purely and simply disappeared from this campaign, at the end of a grotesque drama. The Party of François Bayrou having eyes mild weather ex-présentateur Patrice Drevet, head of the list generation ecology, considered more media that the candidate designated by the activists, Marc Dufour, sickened, threw sponge... While negotiations with Patrice Drevet capotaient!

Sense of "being the ban".

To the PC, it looks in dogs of pottery between most allied with the Front left and the NPA (but without Lutte ouvrière), gathered under the banner of René Revol, and the band four Vice-Presidents PC have remained loyal to Georges Frêche, among which the former Minister Jean-Claude Gayssot. The national Front led by Françoise Jamet faces two other lists of far-right.

If, in the aftermath of the elections, the political apparatus generally forget these discrepancies to gather, the "regionalist" registry could this time endure in the speech from the elected representatives of the Languedoc-Roussillon. Through the charges against the President of region by Martine Aubry, some experienced a sense of "isolation of the people of the South", yet buried since the great hours of occitan movement in the 1970s.

The last survey of OpinionWay punishes this Parisian interventionism: Hélène Mandroux could not step in the first round, Georges Frêche out reinforced with 31 of the intentions of voting, as well as Jean-Louis Roumégas, leading the list Europe ecology-green, with 12, and René Revol, is awarding 11. The PS is weakened for the benefit of other currents of left. Raymond Couderc stagnates at 22 and the FN is only 7. That it is moving towards a triangular as to a quadrangular, Georges Frêche would be winning every time, as the voting here should be less numerous than elsewhere.

Weakness of the debates

The substantive discussions on the future of the region are the media fuss about the unsinkable candidate expenses. Just one know that the President will continue the major projects launched (line at high speed, water control, operation Campus, extension of broadband, development of 18 parks of activity and ports, root of 21st century mission...), encourage economic actors to federate to gain visibility, as winemakers, double research spending. Raymond Couderc wishes for him supporting the artisans and the TPE by funding more venture capital (95 of companies have fewer than 10 employees), help more tourism, remove houses in the region abroad, too expensive, and better manage the mark South of France.

But the weakness of the debates is also the personalization of power around Georges Frêche that blurs the political identities. His candidacy bites on electorates which go far to the left as to the right. That is why it is not easy to unravel Tuesday evening, the National Directorate of the PS to put out the party the Socialist Vice-Presidential of the President of the region, despite the decision, 59 candidates, among them the five federal Secretaries of the Languedoc-Roussillon, two Presidents of the General Council and a Senator.
