HAS TEAM SARKOZY GIVEN UP?
France 24
Jan 25 2012
Has Nicolas Sarkozy decided he’s already the lost the election? All
the papers have seized on an apparently off-the-cuff remark, where
he said he would retire from politics if he loses the election.
Liberation asks this morning if Sarkozy is truly thinking about
his life after politics – or if the remark was a PR move aimed at
garnering voter sympathy.
Satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaîné reports some off-the-record
comments from ministers – François Fillon apparently said the
re-election bid is lost if Sarkozy doesn’t declare his candidacy in
the next two weeks – while Bruno le Maire apparently said they have
lost already.
Le Figaro defends the French decision to criminalise the Armenian
genocide – saying Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has gone too far in
attacking it.
La Croix is looking at whether it’s really possible to buy products
made in France – and Le Parisien interviews a candidate for first
lady, the former political journalist Valerie Trierweiler, now Mrs
François Hollande.
