Sarkozy publishes book

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy published a book on Friday admitting mistakes in office.
The book is called “La France pour la vie” (“France for life”).

A long list of admissions was included in the book by the former French President.

He even acknowledged his reputation of being short-tempered.

Sarkozy writes that he regrets he “gave in to anger” when he was caught on camera mumbling “casse-toi pauv’ con” – which translates roughly as “piss off, jerk” – to a man who insulted him during an agricultural show.

“Today, I regret delaying some reforms that should have been made in the first days of my presidency,” Sarkozy wrote.

According to him his failure to get tough on France’s famously generous benefits and heavy taxes were the key reason for his election defeat.

He admits that a yachting holiday with a millionaire friend immediately after winning the election when France was in a serious economic crisis, was also a blunder.

Nicolas Sarkozy served from 2007 to 2012.

After his defeat in 2012, Sarkozy vowed to disappear from the public eye, saying he was done with politics
