Sarkozy is leaving Politics , he has said.

Le pouvoir au peuple, le pouvoir au peuple en ce moment ..... :thumbs:

That is upsetting, I wanted Sarkozy to stay as French president.

If he's a socialist then it can only mean good things for France. :idc:

Well, this is going to stir things up especially between the French and the German leaders now, our own leader David Cameron will not like this either.
A lot more uncertainty coming as to the eurozone I fear.

Thank God. Couldn't stand Sarkozy.

Le socialisme est la meilleure chose depuis le pain tranché ..... :pipe:

No honeymoon for Hollande: Germany already on collision as they say Nothing is to change.


France election: Germany rules out reworking EU's 'fiskalpakt'

Merkel is about to rip his head off.
Good thing, he's useless anyway.

But then again people will complain in 5 years time when we will elect a new president. So it's fair for both sides.

Great to see you back Capt. Remy.


Merkel and Hollande
got on all right, so far, in the TV News Live

Merkel doesn't say anything straight to your face. She knows she has the power to rule Europe and knows how to use it.

I know you missed me :hugesmile:

Personally,I didn't much care for Sarkozy but I feel the French have made a mistake electiong Francois Hollande.

We,here in the UK and also across Europe need leaders to be looking in the same direction, not pulling away here and there with untried or already failed ideas as to economic policy.

She's also going to be gone in due course.

Sarkozy lost because he destroyed the economy. We need to go back to Keynesian economics, which is the direction the world is now moving to. Austrian economics is a failure.
