From humble beginnings, Corsican and self-taught, both boys said they Basket built their careers in parallel. Never mixed politics and business ...
"Have you read The Corsican Brothers by Alexandre Dumas? A wonderful book, everything is said about the siblings and corsitude." A smile, a literary allusion, and that's an elegant way to kick into touch. Policy requires caution, do not rely on Michel Pezet, General Counsel (PS) and prominent Marseille lawyer, to speculate on the degree of intimacy of brothers Guerin. It is true that it is romantic to hope, the story of Jean-Noel and Alexander, two kids from the basket, the stronghold of Corsica Marseilles, the history of this great political ascent of the eldest, senator and president (PS) of the General Council of Bouches-du-Rhone, to the resounding fall of the youngest, the businessman who specializes in treating waste, accounts (too?) flourishing, who sleeps in a cell since Wednesday Luynes prison.
"My brother is my brother and always remain. But it is him and me is me. "Jean-Noel, 59, loudly proclaim these days, hand on heart, he knew nothing of the affairs of his younger brother, and protest against what he denounces be a "media lynching", many wonder how far in Marseille was family solidarity among Guerin. "Alex was everywhere. They called him 'Sir Brother'. He was in the shadow of his elder John Christmas on the General Council, the Socialist Party, the urban community of Marseille. Imagine how one can ignore the actions of another? "Indignant Renaud Muselier, the UMP was elected the first to denounce a "system" in November 2009, while Alexander's legal troubles began.
"bottle to the system of family and community"
"They are close, of course, just as can two brothers who have no other family than the one and the other" , defends Samia Ghali, senator and mayor (PS) of the 15th and 16th arrondissements of Marseille. The elected makes no secret of his friendship for both men. Self-taught, they had, like her, collect a certain contempt Marseilles bourgeoisie, mocking willingly humble origins and accent of the two small-farmer son of Corsican origin Calenzana, a village Balagne.
The family arrived in 1956 on the continent, on the promise of a job in the office of HLM for the father and a small low-rent apartment near the beach of the Catalans, both insured by the Uncle Jean-François Guerin, a figure Marseille, CERD and elected former SFIO Township Basket. "Bottle system of family support and community," says one fellow traveler of Jean-Noel, both brothers have supported one another according to their course, a clan solidarity essential when we want to understand immigration as a city of Marseille. "
Alexander" was everywhere "
Even broken clientelism community, the All- Marseille did not wait for the imprisonment of Alexander to chat about his strange "pervasive." "Without political office or official position, he was everywhere. It was installed in furniture, walls and even in the office of Jean-Noel, "said a senior official of the municipality. Where there is a firm contract with Alexander in the Office HLM, Jean-Noel chaired from 1987. Where we meet Alexander Chair of the Committee for the allocation of cards of the federation of the PS when Jean-Noel locks sections, starting in 2000. Where we see also in 2009, Alexander recruit himself, without warrant of any kind, the Director General of the cleanliness of the urban community of Marseille that just take the left.
Both couples for twenty years (Jean-Noel is married to a lawyer, originally from Paris, Alexander lives and works with his girlfriend, Jeannie Peretti, also indicted by the J. Duchaine), the two brothers share a vague physical resemblance, made thin by their difference in style. "Alexander cultivates the side a bit 'cacou', as they say here," smiled Michel Pezet. Jeans and leather jacket, the man would also have the loud voices of insult and easy. Still
suit and tie, Jean-Noel, he is described by all as "a man who al'emphase spontaneous," "a big hard worker who eats his notes." An elected socialist slip that "Jean-Noel is also capable of Homeric anger, so much so that he always preferred to let his brother play the role of floor leader in PS".
