Rouen with love ...

What a violent election campaign!

Foul-smelling.

I was impatiently waiting to be able to vote, to experience an electoral campaign again. When I returned to France in 2012, I hadn't been able to vote, so I couldn't wait to relive a campaign, which I had forgotten.

When I left France, the president was François Miterrand, I had of course followed the other presidential elections from afar. You cannot experience an election from abroad as if you were on the spot, the feeling is different. My interest was more on Greek politics which directly affected me in my daily life.

I reassure you, whether here or elsewhere, politicians have the same culture of the"ego", this "me, I, personally, I think that ..." that these dear politicians can put to you in one and  same sentence without batting an eyelid. The jackpot still returns to François Hollande with his famous "Me, president" that he said 15 times to punctuate his commitments.

Nice rhetoric, but for what result?! ...

Yes ! we will remember his anaphora, his troubles with the women in his life. In fact, his politics have been like his love life.

A waltz-hesitation.

This campaign was not one, sullied by business, insulting the citizens.

The only one who stood out, in my opinion, is Philippe Poutou during the debate with the 11 candidates. He said what I wanted to hear to Le Pen: "When we are summoned by the police, we don't have workers' immunity, sorry, we have to show up. "Magic phrase. Speak true, no frills.

And again, addressing Fillon: "Since January, it's been a real treat, Fillon, here in front of me, the more we search, the more we feel the corruption, the cheating. In addition, he's the guy who explains to us that it takes rigor, and he's the one who prick in the public cash."

So, between the two laps, when I passed this notice board, in Saint-Lô street, where the Camille Saint-Saëns high school is located, I could only stop: the only poster unscathed was the one of Philippe Poutou!

In the second round, we had to choose between plague and cholera to elect our new president.

Violence and disappointment.

A moving thought for Coluche & Balavoine who would not have hesitated to "join the fight". Suddenly, I really want to pay tribute to these two great men, eternal and still so "in".
