For the first time in the history of France the President of the country is someone who is French only for one fourth. Nicolas Sarkozy's victory has already evoked contradictory comments both among politicians and the world press. In his speech immediately after the results of the election were announced Sarkozy said, "I will do everything for France to go back to Europe, but this must be the Europe protecting its citizens, and not a "Grecian horse" of globalization, which may be a serious threat for the social attainments existing in different European countries."
