1. “Systematically, France had growth above the average of the euro area. “
This is false
Despite the crisis, Nicolas Sarkozy touted his record economic … in embellishing the situation. Since 2004, France has had a below-average growth in the euro area five times, including three during his five years (2007, 2008 and 2010)
.
2. “In 2005, [during the riots] we had up to 5 000 vehicles burned every night. “
This is false
The riots in French suburbs in November 2005, triggered by the death of two teenagers chased by police in Clichy-sous-Bois, and then by a tear gas grenade thrown outside a mosque in the same city, had especially caused numerous vehicle fires. Nicolas Sarkozy, however, the picture turns black as it is rather about 9000 vehicles burned in three weeks of rioting, about 450 a day on average. It is only an average: the peak of violence was reached on the night of 5 to 6 November 2005 with about 1,500 cars burned
Read the story. In 2005, three weeks of rioting that has shaken France
3. “Ten million Syrians are moving to Europe. “
Why this is very exaggerated
Nicolas Sarkozy likes round numbers that impress . Here, more than double the estimates of the number of Syrian refugees who are about four million according to the High Commissioner for refugees, mainly in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan … The figure of 10 million would correspond to half the Syrian population (about 22 million).
Mr. Sarkozy adds undoubtedly to 4 million refugees 7 million displaced inside the Syrian borders, but their situation is different: they are inhabitants of regions affected by war who fled to other parts of the country rather abroad.
of the 4 million refugees, it is estimated that 1 million are currently in Turkey. According to the High Commissioner for Refugees UN, Europe has had 264,000 asylum applications in 2015, a figure up 24% in a year.
France, meanwhile, hosts about 10,000 refugees and is committed to accommodate 24 000. far from the “millions” mentioned by the former head of state.
4. “I have imposed quotas in large schools, including Sciences Po, young people from suburban high schools to give them their chance. “
Not really
Assurant having worked for diversity in large schools during that it was President Nicolas Sarkozy insisted that it had implemented a quota system for young people from suburban schools at Sciences Po Paris. But this system has been implemented … in September 2001. The Institute for Policy Studies has allowed, from this autumn there, in twenty scholarship students from high schools in priority education zones ( PTA) to be admitted application and interview rather than competition as the rest of the students. When he was at the Elysee Palace, Nicolas Sarkozy wished however strengthen this policy by setting a target of 30% of scholarship students in large schools.
5. On gay marriage: “I was misspoke and I wanted to correct my ambiguity. (…) You can not accuse me of opportunism. “ (…) ” unmarry homosexuals, it would be dangerous and unfair. “
Why can still accuse him of opportunism
On about homosexual unions, Sarkozy has definitely changed a lot. As summarized Libération
- In 2007, he promised a civil union legally superior to PACS and conducted town hall, “before the end of 2007″ . The promise will not be required.
- Five years later, he did not call in its program, citing the unconstitutionality problems that arise, and suggests a “pacs in town” when it is issued by a court or a notary.
- Two years later, in November 2014, after the establishment of marriage between persons of the same sex to enlist the support of activists Manif for all, represented on the Republicans in the current common Sense, he is in favor of repealing the Taubira law.
” If you prefer to be told [it takes] to repeal the law Taubira do another … in french, it means the same thing … it has the same result. But, if it makes you happy, frankly, it [does] not very expensive. “
But he offers instead a civil union – solution he considered two years ago legally impossible – even ” marriage for gays and marriage for heterosexuals. ” He explained that he could not keep his promise of 2007 “because of the crisis.”
Less than two years later, M . Sarkozy has again changed his mind and finally abandoned the idea of repeal of gay marriage.
6. “If you did not pay, housing to support his family, we can not bring her. “
This is already the case
Asked about the reception of migrants, Mr. Sarkozy held a firm speech and mentions in particular the family reunion by appearing to ignore the rules currently in force.
It is already mandatory in fact justify a housing and income (benefits and social benefits are excluded from the scheme) to be able to bring his family, according to a precise schedule – at least 1 145 euros per month
housing conditions are also very precise: it is necessary to have 22. 28 m 2 at a minimum, by geographical area and number of family members.
7. “The cigarettes are for sale but that does not excuse brand, you go to sell? This is a joke (…) It can kill, cars. I propose to M me Touraine remove the marks of cars. “
Even if there is no factual verification, we could not not mention this passage, which had a certain echo. Mr. Sarkozy performs, it will be understood, an absurd comparison: the car is obviously not a product whose use is enough to cause the user diverse and varied diseases and cancers, unlike cigarette. He had a few days earlier, tried the same joke … with pie charts.
