Francois Fillon, former French prime minister and former candidate for the leadership of the UMP political party, speaks during a new conference in Paris November 27, 2012. Fillon said he and his supporters were forming a new centre-right group within the UMP as he presses the party to hold a fresh vote from scratch. France's opposition conservatives lurched deeper into a crisis that could split up the party as moderates formed a breakaway group in protest at the naming of a hardliner as winner of a disputed leadership contest and demanded a fresh vote.
