Nicolas Sarkozy set to be first French ex-president to serve prison term • FRANCE 24 English
Political shockwaves have hit France this week after a Paris criminal court found Nicolas Sarkozy guilty of criminal conspiracy in his Libya campaign financing trial, sentencing the former president to five years behind bars. He’ll become the first former leader of the country to serve a jail term, though he’s vowed to appeal. In the meantime, his conviction has sparked a political firestorm, with many of his allies on the right decrying a judicial system they see as too harsh on public officials. We also take a look at more political turmoil to come, as new Prime Minister Sébastian Lecornu prepares to reveal his government picks and with them, his plan to tackle France’s growing debt.
