Francuska

Nije iznenađenje - Ž.Bove će ipak biti kandidat na predsedničkim izorima. Čovek koji više liči na malog teroristu nego na političara. Čovek antiglobalističkog svetonazora tipa simplex = antiamerikanizam + francuzizam + robinhudizam. Čovek koji je poznat po svojim akcijama uništavanja McDonald's restorana i GM useva. Čovek koji je bio Arafatov kamarad. Amerikanci mu nisu dali vizu da bi održao predavanje na Cornell-u, Francuzi ga tretiraju kao jednog od 5-6 ozbiljnih kandidata za predsednika.

Ni ovo nije iznenađenje - E.Filias, libertarijanski kandidat, ipak neće biti na predsedničkim izborima. Njegova stranka, Alternative liberale, odlučila da podrži Bajrua. Evo kako su to objasnili:

...In addition to this political situation, we are convinced that, in France, it is urgent to change the way politics is done. In our roadmap, a change of our institutions is the first step before further reforms can be made.
In those specific terms we totally agree with UDF. UDF Vice-President Marielle de Sarnez attended last February AL Congress to present UDF vision on that issue. We are in favour of the introduction of proportional vote at parliamentary elections in order to obtain a real political representation of French people. We also promote more power for MPs, particularly to control their agenda and the execution of the voted budget. We are also in favour of a really independent justice and a transparency of elected people patrimony, as Judge Eva Jolly suggested.
In the eyes of French people, this position brings back liberal values towards a more central position than the very right position where we used to be placed by our opponents.

Postoji neki usud koji prati francuski liberalizam: kad god negde iznikne, ubrzo vene i svene. Nadajmo se da je ovo centrumašenje francuskih libertarijanaca samo strateški potez...
