Special Envoy in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City
A large crowd has formed in its path. François Hollande’s split. The hands reach to greet him. Mobile phones stand on all sides to photograph. Sometimes applause burst forth. A young man waits, holding a sign with the hand “Long live the president.” It’s like in 2012, when François Hollande had made wandering the streets signature of his election campaign. Four years have passed.
We are in 2016 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
And it must be 9210 km away to Paris to find some enthusiasm around the president. It started on Tuesday a state visit two days. So far from France. Far from this unpopularity record in which remains mired since the early days of his term. as far rifts socialists who question his ability to win a second term in 2017. finally away from those in his own camp, went on a campaign to try to prevent it represent. But Francois Hollande beautiful stroll at the other end of the world, it has the head in France, in the election campaign is happening. He thinks as well that, even sometimes show absently.
“There’s a difference between me and all the others. I am President of the Republic, not the others. “
As at the meeting organized in a café of the historic district of Hanoi with a dozen young Vietnamese. All were educated in France before returning to the country to work. One got the Fields Medal, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in mathematics, another director of the marketing and communication of a luxury cruise in Halong Bay, yet another manages the Bank’s sales for investment and development of Vietnam. All passed by large French schools or universities. They discuss with him before asking for a souvenir photo. François Hollande organizes placement around him. “We will put the banker here,” he smiled in the back a little on his right. How forget Emmanuel Macron? His approach threatens the chances of re-election of François Hollande. Which trusts that everything is still possible for him. That those who take the risk to run against him, if present, will eventually understand that they reserve one-on role in the election. If the left is divided, his defeat is assured.
“Eternity is to think that because our lives have a limit, we are able to give the best of ourselves.”
it takes the path. And sometimes, Francois Hollande seems to solve the inevitable defeat. In Ho Chi Minh City, to the French community, it evokes the film Eternity , released Wednesday, September 7 and was directed by Franco-Vietnamese Tran Anh Hung. “Eternity is to think that because our lives have a limit, we are able to give the best of ourselves. It is the feeling that we can leave a trace, “he expounds.
As if he already looked behind him. Then, a little later in his speech, he turned to the front and what could be the theme of his election campaign. “France is an idea more than an identity,” he says. The theme should be at the heart of his speech on Thursday in Paris, the one to allow it to restart. It above account for the difference with those on the left, trying to prevent his present. “There’s a difference between me and all the others. I am President of the Republic, not the others, “he says. The weight of the function as the last asset.
