From The Economist print edition
As Nicolas Sarkozy takes over Jacques Chirac's party, it signals the
beginning of a battle of ideas over the future of France
IN THE summer of 1975, at a party congress in Nice, an energetic and
ambitious young French centre-right prime minister introduced to the
packed auditorium an equally energetic and ambitious centre-right
party youth member. The 20-year-old student had travelled on the
overnight train, and had written his first political speech on a
single sheet of paper. The prime minister warned him to speak for no
more than five minutes. Defiant, intoxicated by the applause, he went
on for 20. The prime minister was Jacques Chirac. The young hack was
Nicolas Sarkozy.
