Chirac plotting to block Sarkozy succession
It makes sense, in a way, that this vile old bag would stubbornly try to keep Sarkozy from becoming the next president, one more reason why Sarkozy decidedly is the best candidate to support. From Expatica (via Sign of the Times). here's an AFP report that's actually hostile to Sarkozy and favorable to the Socialists, though it does have something to think about:
The report, however, is still hostile to the interior minister, trying to decrease his popularity for the sake of the Socialists and Segolene Royal. But after seeing this entry from No-Pasaran, I find reason to doubt that she's all that popular.
PARIS, Oct 15, 2006 (AFP) - French President Jacques Chirac is carrying out a behind-the-scenes plot to stop his ambitious interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, succeeding him in elections next year, media reports said on Sunday.Sarkozy is also pretty pro-Israel, but for a weasel like Chirac, that's a bad thing, in contrast to us, for whom that's a good thing. I wouldn't be surprised if what Chirac wants is to replace Sarkozy with Dominique de Villepin, already his crony in conspiracy to sell the country into dhimmitude.
The plan is to destablise Sarkozy, whom Chirac sees as too arrogant, too pro-American and too insolent, ahead of the polls due to take place in April 2007, newspapers including Le Journal du Dimanche and the newsmagazine Marianne claimed.
The report, however, is still hostile to the interior minister, trying to decrease his popularity for the sake of the Socialists and Segolene Royal. But after seeing this entry from No-Pasaran, I find reason to doubt that she's all that popular.
