One hundred days Sarko

The French examine their president under a microscope

## Hyperpresident

In honor of the hundred days of Nicolas Sarkozy, one of the French journalists asked the psychiatrist, which explains the hyperactivity of the sarcose and what to do with it. To get used to, the psychiatrist answered, this is such a nature, and nothing can be done here, but it will not be easy for others. The journalists with whom, as my colleague joked, Sarko acts by the “carpet bombing” method, that is, throwing information, already nicknamed him “hyper -president”. The honeymoon of the hyper -president, if it ended, is at a high mark - the trust rating in mid -August was 64%.

His unusual political style continues to cause debate. Knowledgeable people claim that even the appointments of deployers were engaged in the Champs Elysees. Vertical power? I am not ready to judge a hundred days.

The French are answering this:
- One hundred days are not so few. One politician lost everything in a hundred days ...
- Obviously not the case. And Sarko is not Napoleon, no matter what you say ...
- And the comparison with Putin still seems irrelevant to you?

Sarkozy pulsed a hundred days on a political scene, including during rest. He talked with world leaders, returned France to Europe and outlined a rapprochement with America, criticized the European financial system and seduced the opposition in France. He agreed with the trade unions, persuaded universities, pierced a package of reforms to reduce taxes through the parliament, was exempted from illegal emigration and was engaged in crime of minors. He was everywhere and all the time. He appeared on the screen, no matter what channel you include. He is in Libya and on the Tour de France, with the rugbyists and Bush, he made about twenty statements during an unconventional two -week vacation for France, which he spent in America. He interrupted a vacation for a day and returned to Paris for the funeral of Cardinal Lucizer, a Catholic of Jewish descent, who until the last day considered himself a Jew, who was buried in Notre Dame in Catholic and Jewish rites. He wrote a letter to Ms. Merkel with his proposals in connection with the financial crisis. He was different, his actions caused sympathy and antipathy. He was lucky and unlucky. The tax reform proposed by the sarcose, including the reduction of income taxes and inheritance, as well as the abolition of taxes from the earned over 35-hour working week, threatens the country's budget with a loss of more than 13 billion euros per year, which even bothers the members of the Sarczy team. Ahead - painful pension reform and medical insurance reform for the French. The financial crisis does not increase the corridor for maneuver.

The wind does not blow his back all the time. But I understand why my friends have associations with Putin. Sarkozy is young, healthy, full of energy, and he also contrasts with the elderly shirak who had gone to rest, as Putin's youth with the early fatigue of the sick Yeltsin contrasted at one time. Sarko cut out another political speed, it does not fly indicatively on jet aircraft, but manages to jump into a already running train, as it was with the history of the liberation of Bulgarian nurses in Libya. This is where the comparison ends. The French are not ready to recklessly run after their leader to the bright future of France. Try to convince them that the sale of weapons of Libya is a long -agreed contract, and not a bargaining coin in a bargaining with Gaddafi. Do not believe. And do not welcome.

For a hundred days, the French examine their new president under a microscope - from the first steps of the government to the cost of his rest in America, from relations with European partners to the absence of his wife at Bush's dinner. And there is no doubt that this will continue. This is a feedback, then a mirror in which the leader of a democratic country is forced to watch every morning. It is not a matter of whether the two presidents are similar, but that the two countries are not similar.
