| Comic strip portrays Sarkozy as a power-crazed Napoleon figure |
| 2006-11-07 |
| Nicolas Sarkozy has defended the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed as a "necessary evil". But today, the French Interior Minister's own sense of humour will itself be tested with the publication of a comic strip album lampooning his ferocious ambition to become President. The 150 irreverent pages of La face Karchee de Sarkozy portray the diminutive 51-year-old politician as constantly stooped like a jockey, eagle-eyed and gritting his teeth as he targets his sole aim: power. The story writer Philippe Cohen said: "What's striking about Sarkozy is that his keenness to attain power seems to be coupled with a kind of nonchalance about holding it. "The present state of the Interior Ministry is a case in point. The ministry is being run by a senior civil servant while Sarkozy busies himself with the presidential campaign." |
