Justice today rejected the bail request of the director general of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who is accused of attempted rape, fact remains indignant and incredulous at the French, while lying between the media of a conspiracy theory.
Manhattan Judge Melissa Jackson decided to leave custody Strauss-Kahn, to a request by the prosecution, who expressed concern about a possible release of French political and requested to continue on remand .
The fact shook the policy of France, where the picture early on Strauss-Kahn leaving the New York Commissioner of Harlem, with his hands handcuffed in the back and grimly, was multiplied ad nauseam in major newspapers and television networks.
"This has been a strong thunder in a storm," summarized Martine Aubry, the first secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), requesting the Socialists to stand together and be responsible.
Since the news was released on PS did not hide his bewilderment but made clear that it must respect the presumption of innocence, and that Strauss-Kahn is the candidate best positioned to win the presidential election next year.
However, "the turmoil generated promises necessarily rearrange the political map French and corrode the aspirations of the PS to regain power in 2012, said today the daily Le Figaro in an opinion column.
At age 62, former business lawyer, renowned economist and with a reputation for seductive, represented the greatest threat to President Nicolas Sarkozy in seeking reelection.
"This is a private matter, not political. The PS is neither weakened nor beheaded, it features capable of leading our country, like Martine Aubry and Francois Hollande, the secretary said today the socialist coordination, Harlem Desir to France Info radio
"Finally the PS agrees to declare in one voice", an article ironically titled Libération saying that for the first time in many years the leading figures of French Socialism hold a speech "consistent" and "far from war of egos in which is immersed in the game. "
Libération, left-leaning newspaper says in an editorial that "the harder the task of the PS for this sex scandal will not damage your way to the presidency in 2012, something like a victory now appears more advance committed than ever. "
Meanwhile, the secretary general of the ruling coalition Union for a Popular Majority (UMP), Jean-Francois Cope, recommended a communication strategy for the ruling: "To test or silence moderation. We have an extraordinary caution. "
Throughout the day, media releases issued tens of special about the figure of Strauss-Kahn, recalling famous seducer hardened, two episodes of harassment in France in 2002 and Washington 2008 to criticism of its opponents for its high standard of living are calling it "caviar left."
After the shock, mistrust and the theory of a plot against the head of the IMF is gaining ground over the Internet in the media but also in the French political class.
"Strauss-Kahn is a victim of a conspiracy. I think he set a trap, which can have various origins. May come from the IMF or the right or the left in France. In any case, that is to play with the image of France and is unacceptable, "said Christine Boutin, president of the Christian Democratic Party, on Europe 1 radio.
"We knew if we entered the presidential race were going to get smear campaign did not know that this type but we will show that all are armed, "said Socialist deputy Jean-Marie Le Guen, one of the most trusted political Strauss-Kahn.
environment Strauss-Kahn is suspicious because the information was first reported in France than in America by a young militant ruling on his Twitter account, then in many ways close to the government.
also because the event took place in the French hotel chain Sofitel, the French owned Accor, whose owners contributed money to Sarkozy's presidential campaign in 2007.
front theory of plot, some voices are raised, such as the Ecology Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet. "It's so French see conspiracies everywhere, is something that is entrenched in our culture," he told Europe 1 radio.
was the defendant himself who evaluated the possibility of becoming a victim of a plot in an interview that the newspaper Libération place in late April and is now broadcast some excerpts.
"might" extortion, for example, a woman who promised him $ 500,000 or $ 1,000,000 for saying she was raped in a parking lot, "said Strauss-Kahn in Libération on 28 April in Paris.
However, conspiracy theories would vanish as Atlantico.fr site, which quoted sources in the U.S. French consular argue that the director of the IMF would have scratches on his chest and that DNA tests will known within five days to the political compromise France.
Meanwhile, the political site Rue89.fr announced today that the journalist and writer Tristano Banon, 31, in the coming days present a complaint against Strauss-Kahn for the attempted rape of which he was victim 2002.
