Les carottes sont cuites

A mon avis, François Fillon ne pourra pas sortir intact de l'imbroglio dans lequel il se trouve. Il aura été président de France pendant moins de temps qu'il faut pour manger un bol de carottes cuites. Voici un extrait bien écrit par Colin Folliot dans Le Monde : Au-delà de son image écornée, c’est aussi son projet politique qui est devenu d’un coup un peu moins audible : l’austérité, les suppressions de postes de fonctionnaires, la critique de l’assistanat deviennent difficiles à défendre s’il est avéré que son épouse a reçu 500 000 euros d’argent public sans avoir fourni un travail effectif. C’est enfin un nouvel élément qui décrédibilise davantage la parole politique. Cliquer ICI pour les goûter.

Candidate has to drive out of a mess

                         Jean-François Monier / AFP Things were going fine for François Fillon . A few weeks ago, many people in France imagined him as the future president of the Republic. Not only does he believe in God; he also believes in automobiles, and knows how to handle them in the city of Le Mans, where he was born. At the height of his glory as a Right-wing presidential candidate, he gave the wheel of his automobile to his wife Penelope … who rapidly steered her husband into a big pile of mud on the track, which seems to be clogging up his engine. They've drawn to a halt by the side of the track, where they're trying to figure out if they can restart their vehicle. As an observer, with little experience of this kind of situation, I would say that the answer is definitely no. I fear they've screwed up the engine. But one never knows.

Fillon invented the wheel, too

Sliced bread, almost certainly.

Probably the next president of France

                                      [p hoto Albert Facelly pour Libératio n] I can't see how François Fillon could possibly be beaten in the presidential course. His lead is enormous. From this point on, a new problem arises on the horizon. We must make sure that the extreme right-wing party, the Front National , sinks rapidly into oblivion.

Serious youthful Catholic, likes cars

#FillonPresident #Fillon2017 He’s a good-looking provincial fellow with a time-honored old French given name : François. He’s also a little “vieille France” (old France). It’s not hard to understand why the French—totally shocked by Islamic terrorists and Trump, fed up by Sarko and Copé, slightly irritated by the self-esteem of the older Juppé—find that Fillon is surely a simple man of qualities. That's what we need today : simplicity and human qualities. photo Jean-Sébastien Evrard  / AFP
