French President Nicolas Sarkozy says his 23-year-old son has been
“thrown to the wolves” over a bid to secure a top-level business job.
A
national row has erupted over Jean Sarkozy seeking to become head of
Epad, which manages La Defence, France’s top business district.
Amid
calls of nepotism, more than 40,000 people signed an online petition
calling for Mr Sarkozy Jnr to withdraw, while allies of Jean Sarkozy
insist he is the “natural” choice.
