What hope ully enticing or a second round with Europe ecology

Well isionary that today predicted an easy ictory o the Socialist rançois Patriat, President PS outgoing o the Regional Council o Bourgogne and candidate or his own succession. To him, the boiling rançois Sau adet, President o the General Council o the Côte - d'Or and leader conducted lists with the UMP new Centre, belie es hard as iron in its chances. E erything will depend on to the inal score in the irst round the Modem, Europe ecology and the N, and the postponement o the ote to the le t in the second round.

O a concerned natural, the approach o elections, rançois Patriat, outgoing President o the Regional Council o Bourgogne and leader o common lists with the PC and the PRG, does not present a serene ace. He admits it himsel : "the constitution o the lists was not an easy exercise, but a laborious work made many concessions." This struggle in its own camp could lea e some traces, especially in Yonne, where, in addition, the main ad ersary is called Henri de Raincourt, Minister in charge o Relations with Parliament.

" ictory is ar rom being acquired," recognizes rançois Patriat, who is willing to "wet shirt to de end his record": a de ice to help inno ati e companies, the doubling o appropriations in the research, the creation o 1,100 jobs-jumps, or e en the impro ement o the ser ices o the railway lines. It proposes or the uture a climate plan, a "cluster" around the irms in renewable energy and the establishment o a contract or the continuity o pro essional workers ictims o layo s. What, hope ully, enticing or a second round with Europe ecology.

I he had taken to him, rançois Patriat would ha e liked his last ight around a large union with the Modem and Europe ecology. But the local leaders o his party in decided otherwise or the Modem. The Greens o Europe ecology, they are rider alone, hoping to capitalise on their strong electoral breakthrough in the European. Their leader, Philippe Her ieu, does not preclude a merger with the PS in the second round, is the pressure or more, including "the constitution o eco-channels in the industry, building, agriculture".

"This is not serious and omen electoral agreements together on a corner o the table", per tonne rançois Sau adet, leader o the presidential majority. Outgoing President o General Council, which was already presented to the regional in 2004 against President Jean-Pierre Soisson, hope to win the set. He is President o region and not in a position to ad ise regional a ter ha ing met with some di iculties in completing its lists. And denouncing a Burgundy trolling and the sprinkling o the credits, means de end some strong choices: create a regional in estment und and 5,000 green jobs, re i e the large template Rhine-Rhône canal, de end the GNP and open up the Niè re, connecting Ne ers less than two hours rom Dijon. "It was an ambitious opportunist who uses o Burgundy and a springboard to be a Minister," assistance rançois Deseille, leader o the Modem, which displays his side two priorities, support to SMEs, and the rebalancing o the care or the bene it o rural areas. While the alliance with the Modem appears to be totally excluded, rançois Sau adet scans or a back o hand the hypothesis o a lack o reser e o otes. "The argument does not, because I dri e a list o gathering rom the political apparatus," he tells. Is the unknown o the N. ery di ided, a ter the withdrawal o Pierre Jaboulet- ercherre, its historical leader, the extreme-right party could appeal to many oters, but on more national than regional considerations.
