Sarkozy was born into a wealthy Hungarian immigrant family. He entered politics at the age of 20 and has always been a leader among French youth. 1978, obtained a lawyer's license, and once ran a law firm in partnership with others. With the support of wealthy parents, young Sarkozy has easily demonstrated his talents in politics and business. At the age of 28, he was elected mayor of Seine-Nye and became a member of parliament at the age of 34. In 2002, he even entered the Cabinet and became the Minister of the Interior, instantly becoming a superstar of Ran Ran in French politics. Sarkozy is short (1.6 1m), with sexy eyes, masculine image and magnetic voice.
In France, Sarkozy is nicknamed Chirac's "political son-in-law" (former Prime Minister Alain? Juppe was nicknamed his "political son"). He has a teacher-student relationship with Chirac for nearly 20 years. In 1970s, Chirac, then Prime Minister, brought Sarkozy, who was only in his early twenties, into his team. Sarkozy also lived up to expectations, becoming a city councilor at the age of 22 and a mayor at the age of 28. However, the good times did not last long. From 65438 to 0995, France held a presidential election, and Sarkozy defected to support Chirac's competitors, becoming Chirac's "unforgettable and unforgivable person" all his life. As a result, Sarkozy was kicked out of the "heir to the head of state" team, and stumbling blocks on the way forward kept popping up. However, he magically "made a fortune" all the way and rose steadily. During this period, he served as the general secretary and acting chairman of the League for some time.
In the French presidential election in 2002, Sarkozy returned to Chirac and ran around for his father-in-law's re-election. Of course, he also has his own plans-trying to get the position of prime minister. However, after Chirac was re-elected, he gave the prime minister's throne to raffarin, who was unfamiliar to the French. But Chirac gave him the scepter of the interior minister. He decided to turn the Ministry of the Interior into his own battlefield. He tried his best to crack down on criminal activities and firmly grasped the attention of the media. The French media once sang a hymn for Sarkozy with the praise of "Sleep peacefully, he is guarding you". In May 2005, due to the failure of the referendum on the EU constitutional treaty, Chirac replaced the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Sarkozy's position remains unchanged, and he continues to serve as Minister of State and concurrently as Minister of the Interior. He adopted an iron fist policy in the "Paris riots" that happened at the end of that year, which quickly quelled the turmoil sweeping the country and showed his courage and talent in governing the country. In 2002, the right-wing United big party "Presidential Majority Alliance" (later renamed People's Movement Alliance), which was composed of right-wing and center-right parties such as the Alliance for Defending Peace, won the legislative election and occupied a majority of seats in the National Assembly. Sarkozy participated in it and was elected as the chairman of the ruling party in June 2004. In June 5438+10, the People's Movement League supported Sarkozy as the only candidate of the ruling party to participate in this presidential election with 98% of the votes. In March, Chirac announced his retirement and made it clear that he supported Sarkozy. Sarkozy's campaign slogan of "peaceful break with the past France" won the hearts of the people, making him win the first round of voting in the general election on April 22 and enter the final. His vote rate exceeded 30%, reaching 3 1? 18%, which is the support rate that right-wing candidates have never achieved in the first round of voting in previous presidential elections.
