Recourse.
For Nicolas Sarkozy, the word now has a strictly judicial meaning;
and more political.
To recognize his innocence, he says in
Le Figaro
, the former head of state will fight to the end.
On appeal, of course.
But also, if necessary, before the European Court of Human Rights - which he wanted France to come out of just four years ago.
But to consider a new return on the front of the public scene, it is no.
He confirms it here:
"I had said that I would not be a candidate for the presidential election, I maintain it."
To read also:
Nicolas Sarkozy: "I cannot accept to have been condemned for what I did not do"
But there are different ways of getting involved, of weighing, of arbitrating.
Whatever his legal fate, Nicolas Sarkozy has not finished with politics;
and the right is not done with him.
He immediately warns:
"I will say who I support and why I do it."
In doing so, he creates a suspense that will hover over all the contenders for the Élysée and give them a few cold sweats.
