Time, 6 septiembre 2007. Nicolas Sarkozy: A Grand Entrance

Dos citas básicas sobre los análisis más matizados:

ALAIN DUHAMEL, (RTL y Liberation)

Nicolas Sarkozy had a successful summer in the Elysée, but it will be difficult for him to perform as well in the crisper air of autumn. ( .. ) Never before under the Fifth Republic has a President personally taken and stood behind so many decisions in such little time. ( .. ) French economic growth, unlikely to exceed 2% in 2007, is too weak for that, and public deficits are still too high. Sarkozy’s economic margin for maneuver is therefore much more limited than he would have liked.

DOMINIQUE MOÏSI, del IFRI (Institut français de relations internacionales).

President Nicolas Sarkozy’s frenetic launching period has been globally positive, though the operative word is “globally.” From Libya to Brussels by way of reforms at home, the relentless Sarkozy has given people the feeling France has finally awakened from a long sleep to become a vibrant, enthusiastic “new France.” But now we’re starting to see what I’d call a Hitchcockian “shadow of doubt”: the public has started asking how much lasting result all this action is producing.

( .. )

Virtually no one challenges the idea that Sarkozy has proved himself the most gifted and dynamic politician in France today. His initial presidential record has shown him to be a tireless leader who personally shapes policy on all fronts. But when you look at his accomplishments so far, you have to wonder whether his political genius may have overshadowed his effectiveness as a statesman: the solutions he is quick to offer often reflect the very problems they are meant to address.

( .. )

That paradox is evident in foreign affairs. Sarkozy has declared European issues to be among his main diplomatic priorities, but he has approached them with nationalistic designs.

( .. )

Sarkozy did a marvelous job restoring relations between Paris and Washington, but were the military and nuclear deals France signed with Libya really in the best interests of the Atlantic alliance?

( .. )

At home, Sarkozy often says he wants to give greater freedom to markets, but his actions show he’s no economic liberal at heart. The merger of Gaz de France and Suez is the perfect example of an interventionist state influencing companies and the market. Politically, Sarkozy has shown true genius in undermining the Socialist Party by attracting some of its leading lights to his team. But is mere political calculation also behind his backing of Socialist Dominique Strauss-Kahn to head the International Monetary Fund? Sarkozy’s motives are often open to question — and differ from his stated objective.

( .. )

For those reasons, Sarkozy will need to reconcile his words and acts if he wants his next three months to be as successful as his first three.
