The two bees

Americans have wasps and we have bees! 

Sorry for the bad pun...

After Bayrou's here are the other B's posters as promised.

Besancenot is our youngest candidate. He was already candidate in 2002 and created the surprise then. He's a postman and he belongs to a political group that is called LCR (Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire) which is a Trotskyist party.




José Bové is an interesting case. He became famous a few years ago as a farmer union man when he took down a McDonald's restaurant, denounced un-healthy eating and destroyed a GMO field. WTO people know him well and fear his actions. He got  a lot of media coverage and becaus eof his moustache got to be compared to Asterix Le Gaulois resisting against The Pax Romana (in Bové's case it's The Pax Americana).

He doesn't belong to any party but is left-wing and is campaining on his name only, on his fame as an anti-economic deregulation guy. He wants an alternative globalization.

You know that there are more than 60 millions of inhabitants in French, right?
