Republican hopefuls take aim at Clinton in New Hampshire - Video
France maysoon have its own Republican party. And although the country is often decried as far too socialist by U.S. Republicans, surveyspredict itto immediatelybecome one of the most popular French parties.
The countryhas not undergone a rapid Americanization, of course. Instead, former president Nicolas Sarkozy is reportedly planningtoreplace the name of current conservative partyUnion for a Popular Movement (UMP) with the Republicans. According to French radio station Europe 1, the official announcement will be made May 30.
But why would oneof the two most important French parties suddenly change its name? Sarkozy and his aides have reportedly reached the conclusion that the party's reputation has beenirrevocably damaged.
"I think Sarkozy's primary goal is to rebrand his party. The reputation of UMP has suffered from financial scandals and internal squabbles over the past three years," political scientist Nicolas Jabko, who has taught in France and the U.S., told The Washington Post on Friday.
Sarkozy himself acknowledged in a recent interview with Le Figarothat his party's"brand isa little worn off."
UMP PresidentJean-Franois Cop has beenalleged of illegally using party funds to finance Sarkozy's 2012 election campaign. Infighting further fueled the rapid descent of France's leading conservative party.
Whereas Sarkozy promotesthe name change as part of awide-ranging relaunchof the party, others remain skeptical. "Of course the rebrandingis supposed to divert attention from the UMP's real problems," Jabko said.
"It's like they are saying, 'We have the same man in charge that we've had for 10 years, we have no new ideas, so let's come up with a new name,' "Bruno Bernard, a former ministerial adviser for the UMP, was quoted as saying by European news site The Local.
As French news channel BFMTV pointed out, name changes are not that uncommon among French parties, given the country's multiparty system with frequently changing coalitions and break-ups.
It is very unlikely, however, that the renamingis inspired by the U.S. Republican party. France regards itself as the birthplace of Republicanism, which originated in the French revolution and has a different meaning than U.S. conservatism. French republican values such as libert, galit, fraternit (liberty, equality, fraternity) date back to the 18th century -- butUMP criticssay that they are increasingly absent frommodern conservativepolitics.
