The younger son of the French President announced his support for Patrick Devedjian as President of the Hauts-de-Seine, “Nouvelles dArménie” reports.

On March 28, Jean Sarkozy told the France-Presse agency, that he supports Patrick Devedjian as chairman of the board of the department.

The reason for such a sharp turn is “the need to unite different families of right-wing Republican forces and change the political climate.” This desire to soften the political climate emerged after Isabelle Balkany, a pro-Sarkozy candidate was defeated in the second round of cantonal elections. Patrick Devedjian defeated in his Bourg-la-Reine canton.

However, after the Union for a Popular Movement’s defeat in the elections across France, Patrick Devedjian and Jean Sarkozy called their people to come together to write a new chapter in Hants-de-Seine’s policy.
