| Description | François, Martine, Ségolène, Arnaud, Manuel et les autres ... it could be the title of a film by Claude Sautet. Less romantic, it's the line-up for the French Socialist party primaries, a complex process starting on Tuesday.
The Socialist primaries were supposed to be an easy walkover for the party and public opinion's favourite, IMF director general Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The carefully staged return home of a man who seemed best suited to lead the country at a time of economic and financial turmoil, collapsed last month in a New York five-star hotel, where he is accused of sexual assault. Instead of announcing his bid for the French presidency, DSK is fighting to avoid spending the rest of his life in a US jail. |
