Take a long, hard, look in the mirror ‘Sarko’
Nicolas Sarkozy really needs to get a grip when it comes to the European Union. What an insightful and populist policy to come out with in launching his presidential campaign: ‘I want to say that Europe must give itself borders, that not all countries have a vocation to become members of Europe, beginning with Turkey which has no place inside the European Union’. Yet on Sarkozy's grounds neither has France.
The ‘big’ G6 EU member states, led by Germany and France, are also tending to rip political union by their insistence on ‘informal chats’ to reach EU deals in sensitive policy areas such as immigration and border controls. If you want political union, you can’t have it without a bit of give-and-take between all member states – and that includes nos amis en France.
