Jacques Cheminade Is
Officially Declared a Candidate

March 19, 2012 (EIRNS)--Here is EIR's translation of the statement from Jacques Cheminade's campaign on his official certification as a Presidential candidate in France (http://www.cheminade2012.fr/).

Communiqué from the Presidential Campaign
Of Jacques Cheminade

PARIS, March 19, 2012—The Constitutional Council has just confirmed the candidacy of Jacques Cheminade for the Presidential election. It is publicly well known since March 8 that he had gathered more than 585 signatures.

Nonetheless, the daily Le Monde does not mention in its March 20th issue, that he is among the certified candidates.

The only question one should rightly raise is: Is this from incompetence, unrelenting passion against a candidate, or, more likely, both at once?
