With his appointment to the Ministry of Defence, Senator Gerard Longuet UMP finally takes his revenge after a chaotic journey which has seen him make his classes at the extreme right, face justice for fifteen years before becoming a certified Sarkozyist. This close to Nicolas Sarkozy that he was an advisor at the Elysee (2007-2009), the "Hussar of liberalism," was loud and clear his bitterness for being bluntly rejected the reorganization in November 2010. At 65, he has finally been heard.
As head of the UMP group in the Senate since July 2009, he has worked hard to convince a reluctant Senate majority and arbitrated by the centrists to vote for reforms that he did not like, such as reform territorial or removal of business tax. His election as head of UMP senators marked his return to the center stage after a long hiatus Judiciary (1994-2010).
"reformer"
The elected Lorraine (region and its President from 1992 to 2004), slayer of 35 hours and stubborn deficits, a follower of the "self-enterprise" championed by his friend Herve Novelli, runs alongside the latter club Reformation, hundreds of Liberal parliamentarians. To the left and sometimes right, it has long been a bogeyman to be called to the 1992 regional alliance with the Frente National. Continuation of a journey that began in 1964 in the ranks of the West, a small group of extreme right.
