Son of a gun

Le Pen is colluding with Sarkozy - the latest election conspiracy according to Liberation (source). The reason: his “you’re not French enough" attacks on Sarkozy are so low that it’s forcing voters to feel sympathy for Sarko (source).

Le Pen’s insistence that he is of a different “more French” stock than Sarkozy, will also win the latter votes (from those who were worried the two were too similar).

In other accusations of collusion, the papers highlight the fact Sarkozy’s far right policies are adding weight to Le Pen’s. And the comments from a member of Sarko’s team calling for some sort of proportional representation - a system which would favour the National Front.

Apparently Sarko is now being dubbed ”son of Le Pen” (source).
