French President Nicolas Sarkozy is expected to address allegations that he received $190,000 in illegal campaign contributions from France's richest woman, L’Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt
Nicolas Sarkozy has a lot to explain when he takes questions live on TV Monday night.
His soccer team left the World Cup in disgrace. He is accused of receiving $190,000 in illegal campaign cash from the country's richest woman, L’Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt. Amid this and other criticism, he wants to cut the national budget and raise the retirement age.
Oh yes – and the president wants to get reelected in 2012, despite facing the lowest presidential ratings in France since 1958.
