* The majority was defeated “indisputable”
* No department for the FN, but elected ( updated with the results, reactions)
PARIS, March 29 (Reuters) – The UMP and centrists of IDUs Sunday won a landslide victory on the PS and its allies in the second round of departmental, depriving the left of its territorial supremacy with the conquest of at least two thirds of the departments.
The National Front, which seeks to strengthen its regional coverage for the 2017 presidential election, failed to transform the test of its success by the number of votes in the first round (25%): Vaucluse, in which he based his hopes, escapes him, and the Aisne, conquered by the UMP
Marine Le Pen welcomed “a crucial step (…) on the way of power. “
The extreme right, with eight elected (four for the FN, four for the Southern League) is in position to arbitrate Thursday” third round, “the election of the President of the County Council, in the Vaucluse, where left and right are tied with 12 councilors.
” If one of the applications demand the voices of the FN, we will make a Charter to which they must adhere to benefit from our voice, “said the Marion Maréchal-Le Pen MP.
Nicolas Sarkozy warned that any elected UMP tried to ally with the FN would be expelled from the party ..
A two French went to vote on Sunday, participation declined slightly compared to the first round
The sanction vote feared by the left in power happened: Nicolas Sarkozy which can take advantage of a political and tactical success on the road to “alternate” for 2017, wanted to take note of “a disavowal (…) without appeal” to the “most archaic socialism ‘ Europe “
Three symbolic losses. Correze department that led Francois Hollande 2008-2012, rocking right, and the Essonne, electoral stronghold of Manuel Valls and the Deux-Sèvres, stronghold Ségolène Royal.
Manuel Valls, who conceded defeat “incontestable” a left split, assured hearing the “expectations”, “requirements” the “anger” and “fatigue” the French “face a daily life too difficult.”
“I heard this message, their demand for results, my Government will continue to respond tirelessly,” said the Prime Minister announcing for “the coming days” new measures in favor of private and public investment.
But the entourage of Francois Hollande said Sunday night that there would be no change of course .
SARKOZY TRIUMPH
The new map of France with departments confirms the breakthrough of the right, which had topped the first round.
According to CSA, UMP-UDI-UC-modem win 68-69 of the 98 departments involved, the left 29 to 30. Ipsos-Sopra Steria evokes meanwhile 65-68 departments to the right, from 32 to 35 for the left.
The left departments controlled 61 of the 102 departments, against 41 to the right before the election.
Bouches-du-Rhône, Reunion, Mayotte, Ain, Cher, Eure, Jura, Seine-et-Marne, Doubs, Creuse, Isère, Drôme, the Somme, the Saône-et-Loire, the Territory of Belfort, Oise, Creuse, the Allier (lost by the Communist Party which keeps the Val-de-Marne), Pyrenees-Atlantiques, in particular, were conquered by the right. Only the Lozère misses to the left.
“Never under the Fifth Republic, our political family had won so many departments”, welcomed Nicolas Sarkozy. “It’s lies and denial, is powerlessness that were punished,” he added, opening unambiguously pre-campaign for the 2016 primary right.
“The win tonight back to all those who have made the choice of the group,” he began, attention including its main rivals (Alain Juppé, Fillon …) and try a jumper alone.
THE “slingers” challenge VALLS
The former head of State announced that the UMP, the refounding congress will take place on May 30 in Paris, hasten writing his alternating project. “A new stage of renewed hope for France,” he said.
Anxious not to be left behind, Francois Fillon responded shortly after its declaration emphasizing the need for an alternate project “radical break” in line with its economic proposals “Thatcherite” he opposes including reformism “cautious” Alain Juppé.
The Mayor of Bordeaux has also taken time welcoming at the same time “the victory of unity”, but also “the UMP alliance strategy, UDI and Modem” he claims despite the animosity towards Nicolas Sarkozy Francois Bayrou.
Francois Hollande and Manuel Valls, who hoped to limit bleeding, are now under pressure from the “rebellious” who published Sunday evening without waiting for a joint statement as “a gathering of contract.”
“Without genuine changes in policy, without renewal of the practice of power, the dispersion of the left will be irreversible,” they write.
Martine Aubry, whose department, the North is lost, lamented for his part a “protest vote over national policy” that “deserves analysis.”
The Head State warned in before March 22, he does not infléchirait the political line, whatever the result, it would maintain Manuel Valls, bane of the “left of the left” at Matignon. (Sophie Louet with Service France, edited by Yves Clarisse)
