Pablo Married faces a crucial week to settle his leadership.
The National PP Convention starts this Monday with the aim of relaunching its alternative and its Government project, wrapped by international politicians who will participate in different itinerant tables.
Although the popular have put all the meat on the grill to attract names of light, the initial expectations have been deflated and, except for last minute surprises, will be Nicolas Sarkozy (66) the International Star of the Convention despite having been condemned
By corruption.
His wife, Carla Bruni, (53) former Top Model converted into successful singer, will also appear here, although he is not expected at any cultural debate table, but in the Plaza de España de Sevilla, where he will act on October 7 and
He will sing his “man”, as always refers to Sarkozy, with whom he stars a fascinating love story since they met in 2007.
While Carla rehearse her ballads, her husband will participate at a table in Madrid to discuss “freedom and individual responsibility” together with other speakers.
It will be on Wednesday, September 29.
He is not scheduled for him to participate in more acts, according to PP sources, who do not know if he will stay more time in Spain to applaud the woman of him in Seville.
It is not the first time Sarkozy goes to the call of the PP.
In 2007 he was the star of a similar convention of the popular led by Mariano Rajoy and maintains, in addition, a close relationship with José María Aznar, who has even been declared a fan of the woman of him, Carla Bruni.
Aznar and Ana Bottle did not miss the recital that the singer and former model gave in 2018 at the New Apollo Teatro in Madrid, sitting in the third row next to an enraptured Sarkozy.
Now, however, the situation is different.
Former French president was sentenced in March by the thirtiest correctional chamber of the Paris court to a sentence of three years in prison, replaced by home measures, for trafficking in influences and corruption.
The Affaire des écoutes or the listening case goes back to 2014 and Sarkozy was figured as suspected of having tried to bribe a magistrate with a position in Monaco in exchange for information that related to some generous donations from Liliane Bettencourt, owner of L
‘Oreal, for his presidential campaign of 2007. Sarkozy visited the multi-million dollar, who had Senil Dementia, in his Parisian residence on several occasions throughout 2006 to receive his juicy black checks.
The PP of married, determined to unmarked from everything that smells to corruption, has rushed to justify the presence of the former leader alleging that they invited him before he was convicted.
With the sentence appealed – “I will go to the end,” he notified – Sarkozy is still a reference on the European right, although his expectations to return to the Elysee are practically null since it has become the first former president of the Republic who receives
A prison sentence.
The sentence has also been a Varapalo for the French, orphan right of a charismatic leader like him.
Sarkozy has two other open judicial fronts for illicit funding from the electoral campaigns of him, but he has continued to exercise from his fabulous office of 323 square meters of Rue Miromesnil, near the long-awaited Elysee, who pays the state.
Withdrawn from the active policy since 2016, there it receives mayors, aspiring deputy and entrepreneurs who come to him in search of advice and contacts.
The office of Him, with profusion of Dorados, Louis XVI furniture and photos of Carla Bruni, is a recreation of the Elysee.
Always with suit and tie, he receives at audience to the appointments of him with a box of chocolates always by hand.
Even the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has stepped on the fluffy carpets of the office for breakfast with him.
“It’s normal for people to come and ask for advice, we do not have more than Him, it’s still very popular between the right,” I assured Le Parisien one of the regulars to Miromesnil in a report published four months before the sentence.
At 65, with 37 of career, Sarkozy has assured that he will not return to politics because he does not want to divorce his beloved Carla.
He has passed the page, but he continues to cry out for his innocence.
“They have condemned me without testing because they have not found anything, they have been harassing ten years and I am used to it,” he says.
It is likely that the French Right Guru fall more Varapals.
Several judges continue to instruct the case of partially illegal financing of the 2012 failed campaign, where Sarkozy spent 17 million more than authorized with a system of false invoices.
At least, in love life smiles at him.
