Barring a dramatic change, there will be three participants in the final round. Tuesday, May 9, the authorities of Medef must reveal the list of personalities who have obtained the number of sponsorships sufficient to be able to run for the succession of Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, the president of the employers’ movement. Their identity is already known since the interested parties had made it known that they had reached the required threshold, four days earlier – at the time of the closing of the deposit of signatures. Opened two months ago, the campaign will continue until July 4, with the vote taking place forty-eight hours later.
To be in the running in this competition, it was necessary to obtain the support of at least 150 members of the general assembly of Medef having “deliberative voice” – knowing that these “grand electors”, numbering 557, had the right to vote. grant their blessing to three candidates. Presented as the favourite, Patrick Martin, currently number two in the organization, says that “82% of members who might sponsor me did so”. Vice-president and spokesperson for Medef, Dominique Carlac’h claims, for her part, 345 initials. The third qualified is called Pierre Brajeux. Deputy President of the French Federation of Private Security, he would have barely crossed the bar of 150 signatures, according to our information: the fact that he succeeded thwarted the forecasts, since several figures from the Medef, solicited by The world shortly before the end of the registration of the supporters, expected that the confrontation would be limited to a Martin-Carlac’h duel.
Apart from the nominees, there was a fourth suitor: Guillaume Cairou. But the CEO of the wage portage company Didaxis was only supported by a little less than 80 voters.
Other personalities had come forward – or had been approached – for the chair of “boss of bosses”. Thus, the head of Medef Alsace, Olivier Klotz, had made a brief lap before withdrawing in favor of Mr. Brajeux. President of the Syntec federation (consulting, engineering, digital professions, etc.), Laurent Giovachini also intended to present himself. But he had to give up, because of serious health problems which led him to the hospital just before the start of the campaign. As for Alexandre Saubot, the rival of Mr. Roux de Bézieux in the previous election, in 2018, he indicated, at the end of March, that he would not start the race, officially because he preferred to “dedicate fully” to the presidency of France Industrie, the professional organization which defends the interests of this sector of activity. The hypothesis of a second failure, five years following the one that had bruised him, undoubtedly weighed in his choice, according to connoisseurs of the field.
