Their existence was popularized by the case of Bettencourt, since Nicolas Sarkozy and Eric Woerth each have their own, in the form of an association of support to their action, based in Neuilly and the other in Senlis. These structures can receive donations from private individuals (7,500 maximum EUR).
But, and this is where the shoe pinches, the same person - wealthy - can finance several structures at the time. Thus, "Le Nouvel Observateur" revealed last week that Liliane and André Bettencourt had each signed at least two cheques for 7,500 euros in 2006, the UMP and the association of support to the action of Nicolas Sarkozy, which represented a total of 30,000 euros. That year, the Minister of the Interior and future presidential candidate had received, for his association, 272.000 euros of donations (then 136.716 euros in 2007 and 7.474 in 2008), in addition to those collected by the UMP (8,351 million donations in 2006, 8,885 million in 2007 to 7.4 million in 2008). The right had no monopoly of this process since the micro-parti of Ségolène Royal, desires for the future, also received significant donations (92.675 euros in 2006, 86.424 in 2007 and 97.322 in 2008).
Legal processes
If these methods are legal, it is that Parliament was careful to not make the creation of a political party, too difficult to guarantee the freedom of expression and not to freeze political life around the existing formations. An argument repeated yesterday by François Fillon. "Any person who in France wants to express a political opinion, which wants to create a political structure ..." "has the right to do so and has the right to fund," said the Prime Minister, who has his own (France.9) but did not receive donations from private individuals in 2008. And to criticize those who "would that funding should be reserved to the only major political formations". At the Elysee Palace, forward other arguments: "some people prefer to support individual parties." Be careful not to jeopardize a clear, transparent, device controlled and capped with proven.
Trouble is that the CAP becomes on when one person can make as many checks that there are "friendly" structures "It is a diversion of the spirit of the law", said François Logerot President of the National Commission of campaign and political finance accounts. "It is legal but is not moral," told the former Treasurer of the PS Michel FIR. Decided to do nothing on the case of Bettencourt and all related controversies, the PS went to war against these micro-partis. Its current Treasurer, Régis Juanico, requested that they be banned for Ministers and parliamentarians already attached to a political party.
Yesterday, the spokesman of the PS, Benoît Hamon, wished that each private person cannot make donation to a single party. There also and especially denounced a "strategy of financing for the UMP" based on the micro-partis. The majority party advises effect these structures to its elected representatives and number of figures from the UMP have them Laurent Wauquiez to Christine Boutin through Jean-François Copé. But this "are not money pump" for the UMP, responded yesterday the Deputy spokesman for the UMP Dominique Paillé, ensuring that "the parent is no fed by these structures. And note that the "greater" micro-formation is one of Ségolène Royal. The entourage of the latter States that desires for the future, which was a micro-parti, changed its status to become an association in fall 2008. At the time, it was to respond to a recall of limits of private parties donations made... by Eric Woerth.
