INFO For the UMP, Nicolas Sarkozy certainly back in business, but this has not solved the major financial difficulties the party. Tuesday night, the budget 2015 will be the focus of discussion, and it is the rigor word will be spoken most often. Because with 70 million in debt, it’s time for spending cuts.

No more “Happy Birthday” SMS At the UMP, let it be said, a penny is a penny. Daniel Fasquelle, new treasurer of the UMP (photo), is cutting waste and nothing escapes him. Hence his nickname of Uncle Scrooge. Time Jean-Francois Cope, the activists received a text message from the President for their birthday. A nice touch which, given its cost, no longer applies. The UMP will indeed reduce its budget of 100,000 euros “meetings and SMS”

Another source of savings. The Union’s magazine , which costs 800,000 euros year the UMP. While colors and once sent free to members six times a year, the newspaper of the party will no longer be available electronically. And for those who want a hard copy, it will now pay a subscription

. .

Savings everywhere And as there are no perks in each meeting of the movement, everyone must now pay for his coffee. Amount of the bill: one euro range brioche. Only Nicolas Sarkozy has the right to “his” coffee capsule. Croissants and pains au chocolat? Forgotten! Now the UMP buys bag bun out for the next meeting. Young UMP want to buy sandwiches ready? No way, they will have to buy bread and sausage and do it themselves! The four company cars available for party cadres? There is now more than one. Have polling commands also been drastically reduced. That is the expenditure side.

Elected in the sights. On the revenue side, Nicolas Sarkozy relies on elected officials. They are indeed numerous enough not to pay their dues. Chaired by Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, the Rules Committee, which works on the future party wants to address this issue and thought to introduce sanctions against defaulters. Daniel Fasquelle, he sent them an ultimatum to 1 July 2015, it will make the list of defaulters to Nicolas Sarkozy
