Francois Fillon: The Union For A Popular Movement

Fillon Dept: The Union for a Popular Movement, France's leading opposition movement, is in shambles a week after the election. It split party members into those leaning toward the anti-immigrant far right, represented by Jean-Francois Cope, and those hewing to more centrist views, supporting Francois Fillon, according to Montreal Gazette. Then Sunday evening, former Prime Minister Alain Juppe is to meet with both candidates to try to mediate a solution. Cope was declared winner but later uncounted votes were discovered that could swing the vote in Fillon's favour. A UMP commission that handles vote disputes is meeting Sunday morning to discuss what to do. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
