The Franz-Olivier Giesbert are considered by all same the satirical tract directed at Jacques Chirac. He has been written
between orther with the declaration “off the record”, no offical, of french politics personalities actualy – this book has been very attack to cause of this. Giesbert relate the difficulties of actual french
president to arrive to power; after define the gouvernemental method, which it quality of “ninism” it means that ultra conservatism based on the refusal to too engage to right same the left. He underline the feature very closed of the Chirac Presidence, that he estimate to exerce in small comity, that he explained to start of this personnal tragedies (anerexia of this girl, death son-in-law, politic treason of Balladur and Sarcosy, and so on...). The author deplore the ultra conservatism of Chirac terrified by the great manifestations, anxious to like to the crowd. He pay homage to dinitary, apprecate his energie, his
ferocious appetite , the polotic sens, all in fighting his incapacity to reform the country, accusing Chirac of don’t want never take the decision of elector in the wrong sens. It’s a principal reproach that he is done him, for the “deals” misuse of the company’s asset and others balck files aren’t taken to serious by Giesbert. The tragedy of president is like a evaluation of twelve years of Chirac presidence, which hurt in deeper the french politic since of the second term of Francois Mitterand. He deplore that this two president have sacrified the politicians who are for him competent, in turn down or in abandon ; this is analysed the Chirac method which walk out on Juppé then Raffarin. This book don’t miss to present flattering portrait of Nicolas Sarcosy, represent like a man decided but reasoned, to inserve, he is more ferocious against of Dominic Villepin, critized for this arrogance. It’s a panorama of the french life politic if this last years. We can reproach to this book to be engaged, but this author is agreed with that, he said himself that same in this introduction of book : We don’t never to take care of the journalists.
