I work every day for the people of the 7th

The hypothesis of a candidature of François Fillon in Paris is confirmed. And it is by the voice of the Secretary of State for international trade, Pierre Lellouche, it came under the spotlight. Paris elected officials stated yesterday at the "Figaro" that the Prime Minister was now "decided" to attend the legislative elections of 2012 in the capital, the first step before the municipal 2014. An assertion immediately relative by Matignon - "all that is not news." But that surprised person, both the rumor has been insistent these days. So raise tensions in the Parisian right, already torn the approach of the Senate on September 25. The fillonistes camp, taken by the boss of the Federation of Paris, Philippe Goujon, has worked for two years in this scenario, only truly to even, according to him, allowing the recapture of the capital. "I sense Paris urge to Fillon", says the latter.

The redistricting, source of countless tensions between the elected representatives, would allow the UMP to reserve to the Prime Minister an airfield of choice: the second district (5th-6th-7th districts), deemed captive. But coveted by the Mayor of 7 district, Rachida Dati, who is furious. "I do not see how François Fillon can happen ..."

However, Daniel-Georges Courtois, close to François Fillon, has preferred to Pierre Charon in fourth place. Unique gesture of calming, a close to Claude Goasguen, Céline Boulay-Espéronnier, was offered the fifth place. "Things should go in order, as the mayors have always said that they would respect the decision of the commission of investiture", says Philippe Goujon. However that warns: "It would be deadly to a dissenting list likely to lose a seat that could be crucial in the national context". "Lost sentence: Pierre Charon would pass to the Act, with the hope of gleaning voices, including the centre.
