But the rest of the story is not written

With great fanfare and under the unifying sign of secularism and the Republic. Silent since his release from the Government, Jean-Louis Borloo made last night his return on the public stage in the salons of the Aveyron, in Paris, before hundreds of people invited to a "Republican dinner" in honour of the 105eanniversaire of the law of 1905 on secularism. Among the guests, the eclectic was the honour: the ex-secrétaires of State recently thanked Fadela Amara, Rama Yade and Socialists have worked with the Minister of labour, Xavier Bertrand, the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher, and the Special Adviser of the head of State Henri Guaino, who had unsuccessfully pleaded for the promotion of Jean-Louis Borloo at Matignon. And all have crossed Laurence Parisot, President of the Medef, the businessman Bernard Tapie and Jean-Pierre Chevenement and Jean-Michel Baylet left men. The Socialist Arnaud Montebourg is was on the other hand "cancelled". "". I do not wish to be exploited. "I am not the Borloo campaign", he gave in the day.

Ambiguity cultivated

Because the essential for Jean-Louis Borloo was to prove that his departure from the Government was in no way marginalized him, he keeps intact its ability to attract in a room of people from very different backgrounds. "Elected officials of the people, it is that unites and which unites, that brings together", he said. In his speech, very worked, the Pikes to the Executive were implied. Thus, has Jean-Louis Borloo identified the policy as "the way of dialogue, the way of consensus, the path of compromise and moderation, which is not weakness", five weeks after François Fillon criticized precisely its taste of the "consensus" against the reform. A Prime Minister arranged, in passing, in the camps of the "conservatives". Before representatives of Catholic and Muslim worship, Jean-Louis Borloo has been the law of 1905, "an act of reconciliation between two France ...". "everything but a statute of rupture, mutual rejection or reciprocal". But go ahead, both the No.1 two of the Government shall not break for the time being with the head of State. "On the feels more in nation in breach reserve", think Socialists. What is really the person did not intend yesterday out of an ambiguity that he hoped productive.

Declaring "moved", he appeared at the dawn of a new beginning, "as there are more than twenty years", when counsel for business became mayor of Valenciennes. Having decided to leave the leadership of the UMP, he ensures he "found his independence". "My freedom of thought and speech, I it use full", he launched, saying "we want together on projects all progressives." But the rest of the story is not written. "So it seems to me that his vision of the country is clear, as his pure political strategy is not final," said Serge Lepeltier, Vice-President of the radical party, that presides over Jean-Louis Borloo. If having taken firm decision on its future, he posed milestones to increase its influence. After a dinner between him and Hervé Morin Tuesday night, the new Centre has indicated that the two men agreed on the creation of a "Confederation" of their formations. "We work", simply answer the entourage of Jean-Louis Borloo.

And, for cause, the radical party decide that next year if it breaks or not of the UMP. Its leaders are divided on the issue. Yesterday, Yves Jégo, one of the Vice-Presidents, wished to postpone this debate "after the presidential election of 2012."
