“The stables of Augias of Public Management.” The expression used by the Prosecutor François-Xavier Dulin to describe the Elysee of Nicolas Sarkozy is severe, as are the requisitions pronounced, Tuesday, November 9, before the 32 e Chamber of the Criminal Court of Paris, against the main protagonists of the trial of the Elysee’s polls by Mr. Dulin and his colleague Quentin Dandoy. At the end of three hours of requisitions, the parquet floor claimed two years in prison, one year ago, as well as 100,000 euros fine, against the ex-gray eminence of Nicolas Sarkozy, Patrick Buisson; And one year, including six months, and 10,000 euros fine for the former Secretary General of the Elysée, Claude Guéant.
Six months of suspended detention and € 70,000 were required against Pierre Giacometti, the other beneficiary of the contracts. The prosecution has claimed only fines to the other two defendants, to the least: 10,000 euros for the old director of Cute Emmanuelle, whose prosecutors recognize “the reformative ambition” – she tried to impose the Code of Public Procurement at the Elysée, without completing it – and 5,000 euros fine against the former adviser “opinion” Julien Vaulpré.
“Narcissization of the Republic”
It was by a quote from Nicolas Sarkozy that the Prosecutor Quentin Dandoy started the indictment. In November 2007, the Head of State, protected in this case by his immunity – and who refused to express himself during his convocation forced as a witness before the Tribunal – had a speech before the Court of Auditors, affirming That “the control of the public accounts is not just a technical requirement, it is primarily a moral requirement. Public money is all the money”.
The Elysée is then a place of “non-right, in the very heart of the Republic, as recalled by M e Jérôme Karsenti, lawyer of the association Anticor, Civil part, for whom this trial “tells a tranche of the politico-financial history of this country”, but also a presidency marked by “the narcissization of the Republic”, which commands “a survey every four days”.
It will take an “ambitious reform” of Emmanuelle Mignon for the palace to submit, well-woundly, to advertising and competitive proceedings. With limits, as in the case of contracts spent in 2007 and 2008 with the Patrick Buisson, and Giacometti Perron, that of the former director of the Ipsos Survey Institute. “Leonin Contracts”, castigates the parquet, which focuses particularly on the one who binds the Elysee and Publish, the company of Mr. Buisson.
