Meanwhile, the French presidential hopeful, Nicolas Sarkozy, who was associating himself with Merkel and articulating a bold reform program, suddenly seems weak.

Two out of three Venezuelans want to revoke President Nicolas Maduro, but the question seems to be whether or not they are willing to fight for it.

That is not an ethical attitude. (Though, to their credit, many French football followers, from President Nicolas Sarkozy down, expressed their sympathy for Ireland after Henry s handball.)

Eight years ago the remains of the Romanov family were publicly buried in the Peter Paul castle in Saint Petersburg. Nicolas II gained the status of saintly martyr.

Nicolas Sarkozy has not been elected to adapt France to an elusive globalization. His mandate is much more demanding he must reconcile France s public interests with its private passions.

You may have heard, this last fall Nicolas Sarkozy in France announcing the results of an 18 month study by two Nobel economists, focusing on happiness and wellness in France.

When Barnier was appointed, French President Nicolas Sarkozy described it as a defeat for Anglo Saxon capitalism. And so it has proved though perhaps not in the way he envisaged.

Second, despite French President Nicolas Sarkozy s welcome high profile diplomacy, Europe has been irrelevant, if not quite invisible. As Israeli officials point out, Europeans are always there for the photo opportunity.

For politicians like French President Nicolas Sarkozy, such considerations may be meaningless. But what if Turkey were to abandon its European ambitions and align itself strategically with Russia or even Iran?

Maybe it is time to be a bit more generous to French President Nicolas Sarkozy and look at the outcome of what he does rather than the way that he does it.

Hollande s predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, tried to address this problem. He exempted voluntary overtime pay from employment tax and shifted some of the burden of labor taxation onto consumption (via a hike in VAT).

French President Nicolas Sarkozy claims to have brought peace to Georgia. Yet it looks suspiciously as though the deal that ended the fighting will leave Russian troops in that truncated country for years.

Moreover, French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy hasn t done much except hand out some special grants to the smartest immigrants from the suburbs. France does have affirmative action programs, but they address poverty, not ethnicity.

His tone and message had changed. He was no longer the normal man of his election campaign and tenure until now instead, he tried to present himself, like his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, as a superhero.

All of this occurred very peacefully, with no wave of triumphalism, or even much enthusiasm. Indeed, the abstention rate for a presidential election had never been higher before the contest between Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy.

If Turkey has indeed been lost, those responsible include the European Union, the United States, Israel, and Turkey itself. The EU s growing reservations about Turkey s membership have been expressed unambiguously by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

For example, French President Nicolas Sarkozy preempted a common European position on the Palestinian statehood bid at the UN in September. In other words, even when France leads, it does not always do so in a constructive way.

Nicolas Sarkozy s election in France has at least something to do with similar feelings. But anxieties about being swamped by foreigners and dominated by outside powers are more acute in smaller countries, whose political elites seem particularly impotent.

Nicolas Sarkozy, the leading contender in the French presidential election, recently lashed out against what he called speculative capitalism, and says he wants to moralize the financial zone created by the euro. What does Sarkozy mean by speculative capitalism?

European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and industrial chambers of commerce strongly advocate a similar tariff system, leading many analysts to predict that the EU will also adopt some sort of green tariff system in the next few years.

LONDON Laissez faire, French President Nicolas Sarkozy recently declared, is finished. Perhaps, but should we really be satisfied if he is right? If laissez faire has run its course, what will possibly replace it as the foundation of an open, global society?

President François Hollande has announced measures that, if implemented, would amount to a peaceful revolution a major reconciliation with the industrial and business world that even his more energetic predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, dared not attempt, despite or precisely because of his more conservative inclinations.

The key strategic move for the two remaining candidates will be to attract the votes of the Center without losing their core Leftist or Rightist constituencies. That means emphasizing in a reassuring way, economic credibility for Segolene Royal, and social compassion for Nicolas Sarkozy.
