No, justice. What currently happenes to Szarkozy. Of course, all of this happens in a country that guilotined their king and his wife, so the revolution helped a bit in that regard.

I really really wouldn’t take France as an example of how to deal with corrupt politicians. There’s an astounding complacency around corruption here, a politician in the US or UK wouldn’t have been able to get away with 1% of what Chirac or Juppé or Sarkozy got up to in the 80s-90s
Probably, but at least Szarkozy is a positive example up until now. I hope he does some time for what he did.
