LONELY ARE THE BRAVE: A Tribute To French President Nicholas Sarkozy
06-May-2012
French socialist Francois Hollande has won a clear victory in the country's presidential election. Nicholas Sarkozy has called on the French to respect his newly elected rival.
Mr Hollande - who got an estimated 52% of votes in Sunday's run-off - said the French had chosen "change". Admitting defeat, centre-right incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy wished "good luck" to Mr Hollande.Analysts say the vote has wide implications for the whole eurozone. Mr Hollande has vowed to rework a deal on government debt in member countries. Shortly after polls closed at 20:00 (18:00 GMT), French media published projections based on partial results giving Mr Hollande a lead of almost four points. Nicolas Sarkozy says Francois Hollande must be respected as the new president
Turnout was about 80%. (Related News)
President Nicholas Sarkozy Thanks his supporters and congratulates his Successor:
BBC’s Katya Adler writes :
« In his speech Mr Sarkozy appeared to want to confound all the labels that haunted him while France's president. He was said to be arrogant. Tonight he appeared humble.
He was said to be president of the elite only. Tonight he came across as president of the people, thanking all those who had supported him and appealing for unity across France.
And another role reversal: swept to power as president five years ago on a popular mandate for change, this bulldog of French politics tonight became the underdog.
The question now is what happens to his party. Will there be a fight for the political right in France. The far-right hopes to make huge gains in the June legislative elections thanks to Mr Sarkozy's defeat tonight.
Congratulations to the New Elected French President François Hollande and new First Lady Valerie Trierweiler Nevertheless »

Sarkozy In rare interview blasts Hollande for Inaction on Syria
by Darius Kadivar on Mon Jul 30, 2012 05:04 AM PDTNicolas Sarkozy critique Hollande : "Moi, au moins, j'ai agi"
D'après "Le Parisien", l'ancien président, actuellement en vacances, dénonce le manque de fermeté de François Hollande sur la Syrie.En vacances au Maroc avec sa famille, Nicolas Sarkozy n'épargne pas son successeur, tout du moins en privé. D'après le Parisien daté de ce dimanche, l'ancien chef de l'État accuse François Hollande de ne pas avoir encore pris "la dimension" du poste, notamment sur l'international.
Il regrette ainsi son "début de brouille" avec Angela Merkel sur le traité budgétaire européen. Mais c'est le dossier syrien qui se montre le plus sévère. "On m'a critiqué sur la Lybie, mais moi, au moins, j'ai agi". "Il faut être plus ferme contre le régime de Damas, beaucoup plus ferme" reporte le Parisien.
It's not the age that matters but the ideas ...
by Darius Kadivar on Thu May 10, 2012 02:31 PM PDTPolitics is not about good looks or charisma but what policy will fit best the governments priorities and who can best carry it out ...
It doesn't truly matter who advises the new French President if the latter doesn't have what it takes to carry it out all the more that For the time being Hollande's Priority is elsewhere than worrying about Iran ...
Hence leaving the decision making to Obama ...
And that is precisely the problem ...

Faramarz you make me laugh

France is a mature democratie and even if Sarko didn't want to run, nobody, never thought Carla should run!
There are several other political men in right such as Fillon, Cope, Jupe who could run and win.

France does not want Germany to make the course
by Arash Kamangir on Mon May 07, 2012 04:23 AM PDTElection of Hollande shows that France prefers to go its own way than to follow Germany in a unknown destination.
Holland didn't win,France did lost !
by Shemirani on Mon May 07, 2012 03:35 AM PDTA tribute to the one of the Best President France !!!!
Nicolas Sarkosy was a great President he worked days and nights ( like none of them did it before him ) to reform France and avoided the collapse of the country. Avoiding us bankruptsy,like greece spain and italia are having now !!!
he paid the price of a bloody finance crise (just one year after his election) he didn't created this crise he just had to face it and he did it perfectly !!
He also paid the price of the leftist's anger & rage who were desesperate to get to power ...their propanganda started the very first night in 2007 when Sarkosy celebrated his election in a famous restaurant Le fouquets, they just painted a false image of Sarkoy "President of Richest"... the Antisarkosy mouvement was launched....(and we had all this bullshits for 5 years ) Sarkosy lost the mediatic battle thats it !
But the Anti Bling bling (antiSarkosy) didn't tell you that Holland's incomes was twice higher the President's income (30000 euros/mounth without any responsability of course !!!), that he regulary place for lunch is Chez laurent (much more expensive than Fouquets)...
That Last night he rented (with state money of course) Two private jet (Falcon 900) just to come from Brive to Paris this same Holland who was saying few months ago i dislike plane i prefere travel by train like " ordinary" people !!!!! what a bullshiters this Gauche caviar !
Les Français vont vite déchantés ! et se mordrent les doigts d'avoir préferé l'incompetence à l'experience d'un chef d'Etat !
Merci President Sarkosy vous avez tant donné à la France, votre amour pour ce pays est communicatif, Jamais aucun autre m'aura tant plue et exaltée (pas même Mitterand) THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT !
et 48,38% des Français (soit 16 869 371 personnes) vous regrettent déjà et les autres vont vite ouvrir les yeux comme ils se sont fait bernés !
Votez Pour Casimir C'est dingue quand même mais bon faire la guerre aux riche ça les fait plus rêver !
Wish Good luck to France We will need it !!!
As for Sarkozy's intellectual mentor it was Chaban Delmas
by Darius Kadivar on Mon May 07, 2012 02:59 AM PDTPS: As for Sarkozy's real intellectual mentor and role model in politics it was actually Chaban Delmas :
Mme Chaban Delmas pour Nicolas Sarkozy -
Un Gaulliste de la Première heure ... Immortalisé d'ailleurs par Alain Delon dans le film : Paris Brule t il ? ...
A part ça contrairement à vous je n'ai absolument rien contre François Hollande ni contre ceux qui ont voté pour lui.
Je me méfie tout simplement des contres façon ...

Double Click to watch
Chirac was Giscard's Prime Minister and ended by resigning from his post because of differences with him and actually helped Mitterand win the elections of 1981 ...
pictory: Jacques Chirac visits Shah of Iran (1974)
The same Chirac Whom Sarkozy then betrayed in turn ...
But then Betrayal seems to be the rule in Politics I'm afraid since the dawn of time ...
Machiavelli's "The Prince" and the "Art" of Governing
I never presented Sarkozy as a Saint and have reported all news regarding his success', failures and controversial affairs all along be it through blogs and or news items.
Same thing when I report on issues related to political life in countries living under the Monarchy ( Iranian or not) whether they are Constitutional or Not ...
But if in my humble capacity I learned something from History and my experience of the Revolution in Iran it is One thing :
After the Rejoicing comes the Harsh Realities and No more Shouting and Partying will overcome one's Hangover ...
That was true for Iran

FRENCHIES : Elected Regional Advisor of Persian Heritage Supports Presidential Candidate Hollande
He will need it !
You will be surprised by Holland as many others
by Orang Gholikhani on Mon May 07, 2012 01:54 AM PDTHi,
My Freind Dariush has presented only good faces of Sarkozy. Beleive me if he were so good, French didn't react as they have done. During 5 years he has insulted 50% of French and tried to manipulate every body by private gifts and he was surprised being rejected!.
Yes Sarkozy see himself as superman or Napelon and underestimate Holland and he ws wrong, as British could underestimate him. British as well as German would have more tough interlocutor than Sarkozy because Holland would protect more France interest than Sarkozy was looking for his own image.
Regarding France position toward Iran or Reza Pahlavi, France has a general consensus about international position and they will do what is good for France , so I bet now there will be a continuity. I reminde you that Giscard (Sarkozy mentor) had hosted Khomeini 34 years ago.
Vive la France ;-)
Sour grapes
by Truthseeker9 on Sun May 06, 2012 04:58 PM PDTIt was the defeat of the most unpopular French president ever to run for re-election . Whatever outsiders say, the turn-out (the French voting for their country) was high, estimated at around 80%.
Thank you DK for Posting his concession speech
