36 km from his kingdom Toulon, the candidate FFR dominates an assembly of plump males whose shoulders are cracking the knuckles of the costume. No empty chair tonight. The fifties catch the profession of faith any blue-white-red placed on each seat. And Bernie put their heart’s content. He followed them to fend Pierre Camou and Serge Blanco, his “spiritual son” from his mouthing speeches to the small set of questions and answers. Nods when fuse invective. Bounces leaving an alternative of the hat.



“Let us thank Pierre Camou”

“The FFR is you,” he says several times in public as a injunction to mobilize. Like a politician pushing voters to the polls, “but not to vote Laporte, that, I do not care,” the candidate reminds them of the Official Rules. The text provides for election of the President of the Federation by the general assembly composed of club presidents. A meeting often deserted by the leaders. “Only 10% rise in Paris,” Laporte figure. “For lack of time or other,” supports Serge Simon, a pillar of béglaise turtle and campaign manager for former manager of the XV of France. The founder of Provale, professional players, runs his argument to touch his goal: decentralized voting

In June 2013, “give thanks to Pierre Camou,” laughs Simon, current president of the FFR passed a measure allowing club officers to vote, remaining in their area, within the territorial committees or via electronic voting. Except that the change was retoqué by the Ministry of Interior. Until July 23, 2015, order sports federations recognized their public utility. And so ? Well, the Interior Ministry can not oppose decisions of the FFR. But the measure, harmless in 2013, would shudder in high places, since the RC Toulon coach has said. A new General Assembly in December, 5 according to the staff of Laporte, must return to the decentralized voting. To bury him.



“If you do not ride, there will be nothing”

“And there, I look you in the eye, harangue campaign manager, mount and vote against. ” “They are afraid of losing, pushes Laporte. Now they realize that there is an opposition, they pedal retro “. And if the presidents do not motivate, queries a responsible Draguignan who says he “had a banana republic”? Laporte very clear answer: “If you do not ride, there will be nothing.” Neither establishment of decentralized voting. Neither eviction due to a Camou disavowed.

Having already received the support of 264 Clubs of UCRAF (Rugby Union Club Amateur French), the big Toulon put on this December 5th. And his team is ready to put means. “Everything is organized for you to ride,” Henry comes Mondino, President of Côte d’Azur committee, mysterious. More nervous, Thierry Murie, La Seyne, speaks: “Here we go, I put the bus Seyne, I have 55 seats. We have to go ! “In the room, faces relax. The petition from start slowly turns into organized plan. At the forum, Laporte, Simon, Mondino all laugh. The candidate confirms the hint. “No, you will not go by bus do not worry … the bus, it will serve us something else. “



Oui, the buffet is open and there are Cheez – CLAEMMEL

21h, the chairs are rows and Bernard connects the selfies with amateur players and fans forever. Between autographs, 20 Minutes captures the showman theft, “You really think they will go up in Paris? “” Yes, I think they understand now. And December 5, this is important. “
