FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
But others said the notoriously hyperactive former leader was clearly finding
it hard to switch off, spending the final week of his break “on the
phone to his former ministers, collaborators, and even MPs on the campaign
trail,” according to JDD. Mr Sarkozy’s UMP party is widely expected to
lose its majority in the National Assembly in parliamentary elections on
June 10 and 17.
“As soon as I’m not there, it’s a mess,” he is reported as
exclaiming. He is said to have even micromanaged from his hotel room a
newspaper column by his supporters to launch a “friends of Nicolas
Sarkozy association”.
One friend told the paper: “He’s not in any way depressed, just bored”.
Mr Sarkozy intimated he would quit politics after his defeat, saying he
intended to become a “Frenchman among Frenchmen” and lead a “normal
life”.
With a millionaire wife, a post-presidential monthly salary of 20,000 euros
and half a dozen staff to man an office a stone’s throw from the Elysée, he
has no material problems.
But press speculation is rife over his next move, with one friend telling JDD
he might be angling for a “European” job. ” He already has an
office at the Consitutional Council, where all former Presidents are life
members.
Political analyst Pascal Perrineau said he expected Mr Sarkozy to be the first
former French president to go down the “Anglo-Saxon” route of Tony
Blair or Bill Clinton by “having a say about politics while doing
business in the professional field (such as conference speaking)”.
But he said he it was “not very likely” he would seek to run for
President in 2017 unless his camp collapsed due to in-fighting.
Despite his self-imposed silence, Mr Sarkozy may hit the headlines after June
15, when he loses his presidential immunity. He could be called in for
questioning over several corruption cases, in particular the Bettencourt
scandal over allegations of illegal political funding.
