mahnmutYesterday Sarkozy drew France's perspectives for the future, presenting his plans for the country's foreign policies in front of all French ambassadors around the world.
The most obvious point is te noticeable warming of France's relations with the US. This is no surprise, knowing who Sarkozy is. Also, he wants the establishment of a Council of 12 "Elders" (wise men) like a geopolitical think-tank, which will determine France's foreign strategies in the long-term. This is no surprise either.
One thing makes a good impression. He was very sincere in everything he said about US, Russia, Turkey and Iran. His speech is a must-read, really.
Even if he has as many critics as fans (or maybe more), Sarko's role for the French and European politics promises to bring some change. Actually it already started to do so. For the better or for the worse, only time will tell.
