“You will have the experience of power before 2027”: when Nicolas Sarkozy tries to resuscitate his political career by advising the RN

In search of political survival, Nicolas Sarkozy multiplies the appointments with what appears as his last life buoy: the extreme right in white collar, as confirmed Le Canard Enchaîné in its July 30 edition.

The former President of the Republic (2007-2012), more subscribed to the courts than to places of political powers for a decade, had already found himself at the center of light for having received the president of the National Rally (RN), Jordan Bardella, in his Parisian office in early July.

An hour’s discussion, where the former File of the Republicans and the spiritual heir of the Le Pen family discussed their convergences: criticism of the position believing that “The RN would not belong to the republican arc” For the first, that of a justice that would harass the former multicondame president for the second.

We could also add their propensity to dive into illegality to satisfy their electoral ambitions. Nicolas Sarkozy reiterated with an invitation sent to the Vice-President of the RN, Sébastien Chenu in July.

“Judges today”

This meeting is hardly surprising in view of the proximity between the two politicians. In addition to his visit to the UMP, Sébastien Chenu had defended Nicolas Sarkozy by denouncing “An indictment of absolute violence, with a dimension of humiliation” against him.

Invited on the set of “8:30 am Franceinfo” Friday, March 28, the deputy of the North had registered in the conspiratorial rhetoric of his party by attacking the “Judges today”who, according to him, would have “Want to pay themselves what they imagine to be the powerful”.

The satirical weekly reveals that the former Keeper of the Seals has “Distilled his advice” with his guest. “We must not fear a dissolution because, if you gain the legislative elections, you will have the experience of power before 2027he would have lavished. This is what you miss, and you will remedy this doubt, which remains anchored in opinion, on your competence. »»

Nicolas Sarkozy does not, however, multiply these meetings with the extreme right by pure ideological inclinations, even if he was one of the largest bridges for the latter during his mandate. The former head of state, sentenced to one year in prison for corruption as part of the Bismuth affair, also tries, according to Le Canard Enchaînésave your skin.

He would thus count on the coming to power of the national rally for the far -right party to try to “Solid the legal problem of Marine Le Pen for 2027 by an amnesty text”… Enough to allow him to escape justice in passing.
