Indeed, while only 20% of the French electorate view Hollande favorably, and nearly two-thirds of them do not want to see Sarkozy return to the Elysée Palace, more than two-thirds hope that Juppé will play an important political role in coming years. That makes the 69-year-old Juppé, who has announced his intention to run in 2017, the country’s most popular political figure.
Sarkozy, quien nuca ha dejado de considerarse el salvador que Francia necesita urgentemente, parece creer que la popularidad por los suelos de Hollande ha de significar que sus conciudadanos están preparados para su regreso al centro del escenario.
