Because these people does not impress him

She is very attractive and very frustrated: "you have seen it!" she said by launching on the table "Le Parisien", with the promises, that day, to deliver "figures of Tapie Adidas case explanations." "It don't stop lying!", she rebelled against the ex-homme of business. And for ten minutes, unlimited, before you could open the mouth, it tells "her" case Tapie: Phocea, Crédit Lyonnais... The coffee cools, you dare not interrupt it. It is like Eva Joly: always also passionate, always also tough and uncompromising. The transition to the financial center in the 1990s has left traces... Its rise, its ambition disturbing. Activists of the Greens and Europe ecology, which are called tomorrow to approve the merger of their two movements before the likely appointment of the former judge as the presidential candidate, will have to learn about. Who's really Eva Joly Judiciaro-media Harpy, opportunistic strategist or true face eco-ethics

The charm of his voice to the veiled accent, sometimes disarming smile hide poorly determining the limit of the rigidity and the curse of the Franco-Norvégienne of sixty-seven years. Interview, the former judge found his old reflexes and accepts your questions if it is certain to finish "his reasoning", pointing his finger on your notebook, way of signifying that, Yes, it should be noted because this is important.

Eva Joly, it is both what a mixture of authoritarianism and lack of self-confidence, all in seduction before deciding. "it was a fight, I have had very difficult to have confidence in me," she says. But certainties. In politics, the former judge appears fully invested by his "fight". Its commitment has a messianic-side: "It is a new form of action for all the fighting I have done." "And I, today, best can bring," she explains. His combat She believes hard as iron: "corrupt financial flows, it is only the small end of the telescope.". If we do nothing, we run to barbarism. The major ecological issues intersect with social issues. "International financial flows, the speculative movements on capital, raw materials, she knows it by heart. It is not yet a program. But "she works, she quickly learned, observed this close by Daniel Cohn-Bendit. "It was seen landing for the regional, it knew nothing and look where it is today." It is also true that the circumstances were well served her: saturated ambient of case Woerth-Bettencourt, its ethical discourse could only meet with a favourable echo...

In the financial center also, Eva Joly succeeded begin gently: "it changed, was from us judge which read"Les echos"and"The Forum", which included what it said and who listened", remembers the lawyer Jean Veil, who defended André Lévy-Lang in the case of the French cement, one of the first records followed by Eva Joly after his arrival in the statement. Young magistrate, she had to spend three years at the Interministerial Committee for industrial reconstruction (the famous Ciri), the time to understand how was operating a business. How is articulated also banks and financial circuits. "She saw the evil around", fun one of his former colleagues. The gotha finance and policy will then parade in his cabinet of instruction: Roland Dumas, Loïk Floch - Prigent, Bernard Tapie... It is she who will reveal to light the incredible Elf machinery. At the same time, it would cease to open new drawers of investigation in the case of Crédit Lyonnais. To the detriment, regret some of the efficiency of proceedings: some of "his" indicted will thus wait years prior be released by a court. Not what move the magistrate. Because, these people does not impress him. "It is a deep sense of justice, perhaps because she lived itself injustice", decrypts its lawyer, William Bourdon. These "bourgeois", Eva Joly know well. They are the same as those which welcomed it when it arrived in France as girl at par, in 1961. Those that will make him feel that it is not "same world", who want to prevent him to marry the son of the House "because it is not known where it comes from." "If you got married you with it, will your children be ugly", even wrote the father, at the end of argument. The son, Pascal Joly, married despite the girl to the peer. Eva Gro Farseth (his birth name) became in 1967 Eva Joly, for better or for worse, and will forget nothing of humiliation.

Years later, after having "succeeded", "small" j. therefore wait, IX these large clutches, ruthlessly. Some him want yet of its harsh, his lack of humanity. But it is also, no doubt, which allowed him to go far, exceed a certain institutional straitjacket. "It has revolutionized the practice of education in exercising all the powers conferred on him by the Code of criminal procedure." It was a novel in the judiciary. "It has especially had the ability to rely on the press," says coldly lawyer Michel Jéol, who was Director of Criminal Affairs and Pardons at the Chancery in the 1980s. "It was désinhibé the judges," acknowledged Jean Veil. But all are him are not grateful. A number his reproach of privileged justice "to show", which broke the image of rigour of the statement. It has cure. "I did what I had to do", she says.

With "years judge", Eva Joly has retained some ability to work. Bosseuse, but brouillonne. "If it leaves the green in the same State as his cabinet of instruction, they will have difficulty to rebound," said Jean Veil. "Very good analytical capability, but no spirit of synthesis", summarizes another lawyer who likes to remember that "is not who has completed and returned the files Elf and Crédit Lyonnais before the tribunal." In 2002, Eva Joly left, indeed, the financial center to become Adviser to the Norwegian Government in the fight against international financial crime, leaving files open without concluding years of hypermédiatisées investigation in Paris. "She knows catch the wave, it works to intuition," summarizes Sylvie of Arvisenet, former magistrate became lawyer. "I did not have career plan, I just grabbed the opportunities," should be the Contracting Party.

His career, as his temperament, give a side "alone against all", she loves well and which allows not to embarrass contingencies. As for example the assassinated sentence dropped about DSK: "Dominique Strauss-Kahn, I have known him well, I put it in review." The line won the humour award and political 2010. But to the PS, he really did laugh Martine Aubry, even if the latter think that "Eva Joly has been a great magistrate". "This is a misunderstanding, the quote was truncated," defending today Eva Joly. But the ex-magistrate was outspoken: the death of Claude Chabrol, she does not hesitate at all to criticize "The intoxication of power", the film based on the Elf case and in which Isabelle Huppert plays the role of a judge him like as two drops of water. "I did not like this film." "This was not his best," it strikes as a eulogy. At the time of the financial center, already, "Eva Joly did not hesitate to say what she had to say", said William Bourdon. Its sentences today earned a few assignments and review warnings, especially for having submitted, in 2009, that David Douillet, former judoka now MP UMP of Yvelines, had held an account on the Liechtenstein.

But just how his obsession of ethics Eva Joly trace all personal dividing lines. In politics, she first tried the Modem before committing to Daniel Cohn - endit. In the judicial field, also, it has its own point of view. It considers, after his conviction for illegal taking of interest, Jean-Paul Huchon ought not to seek a second term at the head of the Ile-de-France region, and critical agreement Delanoë-UMP in the record of fictitious jobs in the city of Paris. But this intransigence does not preclude work closely with José Bové, peasant leader who joined Europe ecology and who was himself condemned several times by French justice... Principle of reality "There is in fact in it a frustration with the cynicism of the State", notes William Bourdon. "It is very difficult to make policy," concedes Eva Joly.

Policy, the former judge prepares yet to to make here in 2012. With a sheet of any presidential route: "Go to the meeting of the French, because the presidential election is on a personality." And this personality, she is convinced, this will be it.
