Opinion Removed and Posted Here

Like his predecessor Jacques Medecin, Peyrat has been a controversial force in local politics in Nice, both dividing the local mainstream conservative right and outraging the local far left on a number of occasions. Much of the criticism aimed at him has surrounded his practicing a "politique de prestige" at the expense of the interests of the local people. Furthermore, and although nominally a member of the RPR (and later the UMP), he has also been both adept at the use of the coded language favoured by his former party the Front National, and also more than willing to play on the patriotism of the electorate in a similar way to the FN, notably on issues such as immigration and security. A more or less conservative reaction has been at the heart of much of his discourse, even after he joined the RPR: reaction against centralised power structures (including the Department and the Region); against political correctness and the radical left “liberal” media; against illegal immigrants and minority groups who don't assimilate more generally; and against “liberal” values and their manifestation in modern society. The fact that he has been able to do little to actively or "radically" change many of these things has not stopped him from railing against them in a way which has revealed his political origins and occasionally tended to overshadow and even undermine the proactive policy initiatives which have also been occasional features of his time in office.

This stuff might be true, it might not be, but its un-sourced and unencyclopedic... but the information might be useful, so I've put it in the talk page. Cheers V. Joe (talk) 16:56, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
