As if he was now more in rebel heir in enemy

Give a new breath to his campaign and, especially, try polishing an image still concern a majority of French. Just say that Nicolas Sarkozy place much hope in his book, "Testimony" (1), concocted in the greatest secrecy these last four months and put on sale today to more than 130,000 best. The Minister of the Interior and President of the UMP did not wish to wait for the receipt, as the advised him his publisher. And he has carefully orchestrated the event: announcement of the title Wednesday, invitation to the log TF1 last night, setting up a Web site, meetings of dedications at the end of the month... The Supreme Magistracy, he writes, is "a prospect which improvises not."

Over 280 pages of the book, "Les Echos", got Nicolas Sarkozy applies to counter the criticisms made. Its detractors, summarizes himself, consider "too". "Too busy, too ambitious, too bulimic. Too liberal, too communitarian. Too impulsive, featuring his private life and communicating to the excess. "I so saw that force to wait, did nothing at all, that their example inspired me to do exactly the contrary", replied, putting all for of voluntarism. The strong man of the right paints pragmatics "organized", "in touch with the real", "constantly research efficiency", obsessed by the "culture of the result" that knows how to change (as on double punishment), "popular but not populist." If the quote ever, Nicolas Sarkozy takes into account the reasons for the popularity of Ségolène Royal. He made much effort to "humanize" its image, finding even that its difficult past and present happiness with Cécilia contribute. He tries to also ask in atypical candidate, recalling intaglio that he did not have the ENA and claiming that, "what happens", it does not end his professional career making policy.

A question of method.

Force wish to reassure his credo of "break" loses its like a great upheaval. It is "not a break with our ideals, our values of solidarity, our conception of the State", but only a question of "method", wrote. Nicolas Sarkozy passes under silence his project of unique employment contract and little focuses on the flexibility that he called again recently for its wishes. He speaks of "acting", "build". Providing a protective profile, the présidentiable said even favourable to a "regulated liberalism" and a "human globalization". He said be "interventionist if he is to avoid loss of industrial substance", has boasted of its action for Alstom in 2004.

In fine, Nicolas Sarkozy seems to mostly want to change the style of Presidency: he wants a strong, elected President on a "well-reasoned, accurate, encrypted" project and regularly making accounts. Criticism of Jacques Chirac is implied but it goes no further. Calming the game, about his rallying to Edouard Balladur in 1995, he confess "of admiration" for "outstanding" career and the qualities of the head of State. Not attack, just the finding of "substantive disagreements" which are "not insurmountable." "It is him, me I", nevertheless wishes to remind the President of the UMP.
