The opportunity was too good to not grasping it

Finished the opening to the left, long live the opening in the centre! After having long thought Jack Lang for the new defender of the rights, Nicolas Sarkozy has finally proposed Friday to Parliament to give service to Dominique Baudis. A figure of the centrist family for several decades, currently a member of the European Parliament and President of the Institute of the Arab world. For several weeks, the head of State seeks to rally his centrist figures who might be tempted to support the likely nomination of Jean-Louis Borloo at the Elysee Palace. The opportunity was too good to not grasping it.

And it is not excluded that the head of State recidivism this month here with the departure of Georges Tron and Christine Lagarde of the Government, appointing Minister or State Secretary of the representatives of centre. Sensitivity of the majority that is was estimated to have only rather aggrieved at the recent redistributions. This policy of demobilization has proved very effective to weaken an another potential rival of Nicolas Sarkozy to the Presidency: Dominique de Villepin. The President of the Republic may reuse it against his former Minister of ecology.

A time very seriously considered the appointment of Jack Lang as defender of the rights was more disadvantages than political benefits. Many elected representatives of right, under pressure from their base, were insurgents against this possibility, considering that the arrival of the Socialist Deputy Didier Migaud at the head of the Court of Auditors last year was largely sufficient. The recent statements by the former Minister of Culture on the case of Strauss-Kahn ("he is not death man") were completed to disqualify it for the position.

The head of State could also opt for a strong signal to civil society by choosing the former Vice-President of the Association of the France moved, Eric Molinié, at the head until last April of the high authority against discrimination and for equality (Halde). A structure which was precisely absorbed by the defender of rights, in the same way as the mediator of the Republic, the defender of children and the National Commission of ethics of security (NSDC). But he preferred to appoint a politician known to give the largest possible visibility to this new position, created by the constitutional revision of summer 2008.

If it is not this lawyer, Dominique Baudis experience, in the eyes Nicolas Sarkozy, of many qualities to occupy the function, also of course political affiliation. He has already chaired an independent administrative authority, the Higher Council of the audiovisual (CSA), between 2001 and 2007. And it is, to sixty-four years, of moral right, especially since the Alègre case in 2003. Victim of slanderous accusations of prostitution, rape, murder and acts of barbarity on the part of prostitutes, the former Mayor of Toulouse was defended bravely before be bleached. A test which found a new impact today after the arrest of DSK, the resignation of Georges Tron and the mis en cause of Luc Ferry.

Now remains for Parliament to decide. Seized Friday by the head of State, the laws of the National Assembly and the Senate committees may oppose his appointment to the three-fifths majority. An unlikely assumption.
