""Sarkozy is the friend of Bush, Gaddafi, Putin, Berlusconi. His politics are 
the antithesis of the values and ideas defended by Camus.""


y claro!


y esto

"Camus was indeed highly suspicious of political power and panoply, believing 
it corrupted those who possess it, and his play Caligula alleges that "to 
govern means to pillage, as everyone knows." Having known poverty in his own 
youth, Camus defended the rights of the poor and downtrodden, and while 
considering himself a leftist, criticized the Soviet system of gulags in the 
1950s, which can make him look prescient today, at least compared to blinkered 
Communists among French intellectuals like Sartre and Beauvoir. Unlike the 
free-market capitalism strenuously advocated by Sarkozy, Camus was a devout 
libertarian, some writers remind us." 


y además el presidente francés quedó parado como un burro

"The filmmaker Yann Moix concurred in the political journal La Règle du jeu, 
pointing out that since the Panthéon is the "Académie française for dead 
people," these days Camus is surely both "sufficiently academic and sufficiently 
dead to repose there." Moix adds, ironically assuring readers: "His works, 
great, lovely, and noble as they are, will not dynamite anything. Camus is not 
a dangerous author."
Yet he has turned out to be dangerous for Sarkozy, because even more than any 
putative political clash, Camus has reminded the French public of Sarkozy's 
own rapport with literature, which has been, in a word, disastrous. In other 
nations, politicians are not expected to be well-read or even functionally 
literate, but France is still an exception - or was until recently. During his 
campaign in 2006, Sarkozy notoriously dismissed the 17th century French novel 
La Princesse de Clèves by Madame de La Fayette, arguing that civil service 
entrance exams should not include questions about such painfully irrelevant 
subjects. A great crowd of unsuspected Madame de La Fayette fans arose, 
holding marathon public readings of La Princesse de Clèves and following the 
satiric "Sarkothon" campaign of the writer Jacques Drillon, who, mocking both 
the current government and TV charity telethons, wrote that since poor 
Nicholas has never read anything, French citizens should immediately mail him 
books."
