On the 21st of October, Nicolas Sarkozy has amorced an offensive in front of the European Parliament. In fact he want to keep the presidence of the European Union till Spain in 2010. He is saying that a member of the Eurozone must be in charge of European Union in this time of crisis. In end of the year, the presidence will be taken by the Czech, in government crisis and then by the Swedish not member of the Euroland.
He believes that Europe needs a strong presidence in front of the financial crisis. The rejected lisboa treaty could have given this strong presidence. So as it had been rejected, Sarkozy wants to defend this idea in front of the European Parliament invoking the Belgium example which had happened.
Two solutions could be considered :
One could be an election. This idea is very ambitious and also takes time because happening inall countries in Euroland.
The second could be that France keep the presidence till Spain, member of Eurozone, takes the presidence. Sarkozy is saying that in times of crisis he wants Europe to be active.
So he will be at the same time president of France, President of the EU and President of the Mediterrannean union. Will it be capable to achieve all the objectives ? Isn't it a bit ambitious for only one man ? Will other European countries agreed because Germany is not really fond of the idea ? I do not know the answers but what he had done with France is not really successful because it is lots of announce and not really results.
All these questions must be asked when you talk about an ambitious plan like that. So a question for you bloggers : Sarkozy as the new Napoleon ?

I'm not totally agree with you.
Sarcozy is the president of France which doen't really want to move. Sarcozy acts and the results, I think are going to arrive.
The main problem with French people, is : They want one thing right now...
We have to wait to see the results.
Concerning the way that Sarcozy wants to be in the same time president of France, president of UE and President of the Mediterrannean Union, shows that this man really wants to move the situation.
Let's give a chance to Sarcozy.
Yes I probably agree that he wants to change the situation. But don't forget that a politician is also there to be reelected and that he announces things that sometimes aren't even possible.
Concerning the fact that he wants to be president of everything, do you think, Carine, that he will be able to produce significant results and that he won't be overwhelmed ?
I agree with Carine when she says that NS (let's give him shortcut)is the president of a conservatist France! The French people don't look ready to change. I think he is doing good things but it is the whole country who is too lazy to try an other way of running just to see if it could better!
However, I truely think that NS promise a lot of things to the French ppl but will he be able to realise everything if he gets so involved in the EU ?? I think he must choose less objectives but try to fulfil them correctly! He would have been maybe the good person to deal with the current times in EU, but it is getting too much for a lonely dwarf president :)
