Since August 19, 2023, Nicolas Sarkozy’s latest book entitled The time of battles is in bookstores. The former President of the Republic waited until the end of the summer holidays to start promoting his book. Between two signing sessions, he visited the set of It’s up to you, Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine and her columnists discussed the various topics covered by Carla Bruni’s husband in her new book. But Patrick Cohen also wanted to know if he had in mind to sign his return to politics. “But no not at all”thus answered in a first the former tenant of the Élysée. “I love France, I wanted to be loved by the French and that always fascinates me. But the river is faithful to its source as it goes towards the sea, and the river widens. We don’t go back to our first loves”he added to explain his choice to definitively draw a line under politics.
Nicolas Sarkozy wanted to make a point
On the other hand, he never misses an opportunity to comment on it. He has also been able to do so many times since the start of the war in Ukraine. This was noted by Mohamed Bouhafsi. He thus quoted certain exits of Nicolas Sarkozy, of which one in Le Figaro which dates from August 16, 2023. “You say, I quote, ‘we need Vladimir Putin and he needs us'”thus declared the columnist before being immediately cut by the former figure of the right. “I said we need Russia. If you quote, quote well”he allowed himself to intervene. “It’s not quite the same thing to need Russia or Putin”, he added to go after his thought, while keeping a smile. For his part, the columnist of It’s up to you was not disturbed by Nicolas Sarkozy’s remark and spoke again to pick up the thread of his column. Around the table, no one has bounced back on the reframing of Louis Sarkozy’s father.
