All the speculation concerning the evenual intention of President Hollande to stand for a second term of 5 years as President in May 2017, has been revived this morning by RTL, with comments on its radio station.
Nothing else was said, except that Hollande would announce in October his intention not to stand and only in January that he would be a Candidate !
How this can be interpreted is as clear as mud !
It helps no one, in particular the Socialist Party. Its members are increasingly crying out for a Primary Election to be held, because all Opinion Polls reveal that Hollande has little or no chance of being re-elected after his catastrophic Presidency so far !
Socialists want to select a Party Candidate who at least would have a passing chance of becoming one of the two Candidates in the second round run off, when voters finally elect the next President of France !
Other Parties are already organised to select their candidates, but independent Candidates will also be present in the first round !
What would it mean if Hollande finally says nothing in October ? Even worse, what if in January 2017, he decides not to stand ?
The deadline for all Candidates, for filing their official 500 sponsors to stand, is about one month prior to the first round, which could be between April 10th and 24th, 2017.
