Ten day ago, I posted an article about the imminent promotion of President Nicolas Sarkozy's son to manage France's wealthiest business district and how it was drawing howls of protest and derision due to the fact that:
- Jean Sarkozy is only 23 years old,
- He is only a second year law student
- He clearly wouldn't be considered if his name "wasn't Sarkozy".
And now, my friends, after 10 days of relentless and heavy protests and sarcastic comments by the majority of the people (for example, we suggested that Louis, the third son - only 10 - might be a credible option to succeed Ban Ki-Moon at the head of the United Nations), I'm very pleased to say that...

PARIS — The imminent promotion of President Nicolas Sarkozy's son to manage France's wealthiest business district drew howls of protest and derision Monday over the 23-year-old's meteoric political rise.
Opposition politicians accused the president of nepotism and charged the "Sarkozy clan" was tightening its grip on the "treasure chest" of La Defense, a district west of Paris where top French firms are headquartered.
Dubbed "Prince Jean" by the press, undergraduate Jean Sarkozy is in line to replace the minister for economic recovery, Patrick Devedjian, as chairman of EPAD, the agency overseeing office development in La Defense.
