A major reason for this was contingent: the selection of a candidate who three months before polling day was placed under investigation for embezzling public funds. Other reasons were more structural, in particular the progressive dislocation of the bipolar multipartism which had characterised France’s party system for over four decades and the resultant strategic divisions within the Right. Although broadly chronological, this analysis of the long electoral cycle of 2016–17 assesses the respective importance of proximate and long-term factors in the Right’s defeat.

  • 'Crime of the Century'
    HIGH NOON BECKONS IN THE ARTWORLD’S ‘CRIME OF THE CENTURY’ GIULIANO RUFFINI has been in the headlines since 2016, when French authorities began investigating his onetime ownership of works by Cranach, Hals, Parmigianino and Gentileschi, among others. That investigation was prompted by a Poison-Pen Letter accusing Ruffini of selling not bona fide Old Masters, but Fakes... and, almost unbelievably, fakes good enough to fool the world’s top dealers, auctioneers, museum curators and private collectors – and sell for millions. That anonymous missive is here made public for the first time – with Giuliano Ruffini pointing the finger at man he believes wrote it: his ex-associate JEAN-CHARLES METHIAZ. The two former lady-killers, now in their mid-seventies, have spent the coronavirus lockdown in isolation at opposite ends of Italy: Ruffini with his son Mathieu in the rugged Apennine Hills south of Parma; Méthiaz with his dogs Oscar and Gaston amidst the olive groves of Apulia. Ruffini has been passing the time on home restoration, Méthiaz by posting lengthy diatribes on Facebook. His favourite targets: French President Emmanuel Macron (‘a demented manipulator’); his predecessor François Hollande (‘an incapable moron’); and ‘Al Capone’ – which is how Jean-Charles Méthiaz refers to Giuliano Ruffini. ‘The Head of Old Masters at a prestigious auction house told me that, if they know a painting comes from Ruffini, they don’t even want to look at it’ wrote Méthiaz in March 2020. ‘He even added that this man was the devil.’ When Ruffini and Méthiaz finally emerge blinking into the sunlight, it will be at High Noon – for a shoot-out in France’s Civil Court on 20 May 2021 over what, in another post, Méthiaz has dubbed ‘l’escroquerie du siècle.’ The Crime Of The Century.

  • Is France Becoming More Scandinavian? the Utopia of Scandinavian Virtue in France—From Chirac to Macron
    Is France becoming more Scandinavian? The Utopia of Scandinavian virtue in France—from Chirac to Macron Kjerstin Aukrust and Cecilie Weiss-Andersen Abstract This article examines the genealogy of Scandinavian influence in France since the early 2000s and the shift in mentalities that has taken place over the last fifteen years or so regarding transparency. The analysis focuses on the notion of virtue and argues that the French representation of a virtuous Scandinavia can be interpreted as a Utopia, a counterpart that French society may use to bring about change. Whereas political leadership in France has traditionally been protected by a certain opacity and the lack of clear legislation, nepotism and corruption are no longer accepted by the French people. The main case study is the French press coverage of the Fillon scandal in the 2017 presidential campaign. The article also looks at the legislation on transparency passed under Hollande and Macron and finally asks the question: Is France in fact in the process of becoming more Scandinavian? I prefer an accommodating vice To an obstinate virtue J’aime mieux un vice commode Qu’une fatigante vertu —Molière, Amphitryon, I.IV (1666) “We shall become more Scandinavian.” This sentence was pronounced in 2013 by French President François Hollande’s entourage.1 It was the starting point for new legislation, notably on transparency, along with a general attempt to diminish the gap between the ruling class and ordinary people. Hollande was seemingly trying to transform “French political culture, a Latin culture, into a Scandinavian culture.”2 Hollande was not alone in this attempt.
