In 2012 they will be called upon to renew a senior

If the Chair of the public establishment of development of the area of defence, Jean Sarkozy, son of the head of State, received much more than this: a national dimension and the promise of a bright future in politics. Something misfortune is good, the controversy in the last 15 days will be changed the stature of the character, from the local sphere of national policy in the world. It is now a fact, the evidence being - if it were still one - that to be the guest of the "20 hours" of France 2 is not given to the first General Counsel come.

His delivery was so impressed, in the form (studied to the port of an ultra-light Swatch, the anti-Rolex watch) as well as in the background (worked to not appear as a failure), will that focus more the interests of the opinion and political media for this young phenomenon. Contrary to what suggest the accusations of nepotism, the meteoric ascent of Jean Sarkozy is not good news for his father. In 2007, the head of State was brought to power an aspiration to the rejuvenation of the leader staff and its methods, aspiration that it was captured by a permanent hyperactivity and a culture of the perpetual motion.

Since the re-entry, Nicolas Sarkozy was already face criticism of less latent on the "chiraquisation" of the regime, for two reasons mainly: a loss of control of "the agenda of the discussions" with sustained controversies (the "privatization" of the position, the taxation of banks...) rather than necessary, and a greater difficulty to impose his majority his personal struggles or heavy sites such as the business tax. At the time of the descending phase of the quinquennium, that where management traditionally outweighs the reform, it is confronted with two personal events such as the to change the age.

The first is the spectacular burst of his own son in its field of competence, which produces a visible effect of generational renewal. It is underlined by the mimicry with which Jean Sarkozy made his debut in professional politics: same phrasing, same intonations, same intellectual construction. A twenty-three years, as if he wanted to forget his juvenility, the grantor son President pratique this art as the generation of his father, not to the youth of his age. Sociology of Neuilly requires, he spent more time on the market to shake hands on Facebook at discuter with his fans, less even than the head of State still is expressed late last week. This can, of course, to relativize the generational shift effect, but as well the increase. With a son in the image of the father, the impulsive side, the clan agreement can easily turn to clonique competition. Soudain, Nicolas Sarkozy has the monopoly of the sarkozysme.

The second personal event in which he attends is next to his first grandchild, who will develop the dashing quinqua in young grandfather. Benign in appearance, this private news is not relegated in the pink book of political life. It could help to change the image of a President which is to not enter the second age of the policy it dulls the will to do.

She returns to these other recent figures of the grandfather of the nation were Jacques Chirac and François Mitterrand. In 2007, the French elected a "Kennedy" entered in the Elysee Palace with wife and children. In 2012, they will be called upon to renew a senior. If one adds to this that he will have to decide on a balance sheet and only on a project, the perception of the head of State at the end of mandate will be all the same.

The emergence of new "cadet of the Republic" comes to question the strategy of Nicolas Sarkozy, with more success that were achieved thus far his political opponents. Moreover, this constraint is more difficult to defeat because, if the leader of the right was able to ward off all personnelles races with his political family, he is simply unable to do the same in his true family. Sarkozy junior, senior Sarkozy falls on as strong as him.

However, if the rise of Jean Sarkozy is a challenge for the head of State, it is not certainly a danger. The President can transform this new opportunity to acquire this dimension that makes both failure since the beginning of the quinquennium, a mixture of wisdom and humanity. This conversion takes place or not, an event occurred Friday.

Another comparison that the Debré under the Fifth Republic, the embryo of dynasty politique to the highest level is already unusual. By asking political Godfather of his son, Nicolas Sarkozy has the opportunity to add another originality, consented. While in the families of Gaulle Giscard and Mitterrand, father always killed the son, it is, this time, the opposite could happen.
