It’s best just to laugh. Even if in the end this indirect incident of the electoral campaign can also make you want to cry, and worse still, push desperate voters to ignore an election that is definitely at the bottom of the daisies.
In the Ardèche department, Éric Zemmour’s brand new party, Reconquête, has decided to exclude two of its leaders: Francine and Didier Floch. The couple have been caught up in their past in the world of pornography. Because Francine Floch has long been known to specialists under the pseudonym of Josephine of Mauritius. A simple singer in her native island in the Indian Ocean, in France she has shot in around forty porn movies, all made by her husband, Didier.
Inevitably this sulphurous past in sex went badly with the national authorities of a party that puts the family at the forefront of its concerns. Exclusion seemed inevitable. In Reconquest there is no coquette.
Big anger therefore of the ousted who hoped to represent the party in the next legislative elections. Francine had already tried, in 2007, to obtain an investiture. But for the UMP at the time. She was not selected, without official reason, but she suspects that her job at the time (porn actress) weighed in the balance. She therefore tried to set out again to conquer the constituency with the Reconquest label. Another hit for nothing.
Unless all this tragicomedy was intended to get a little cheap publicity.
