WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, UCL AL #365 - Editorial: His Complete Works (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 It's finally happened: on October 21st, Nicolas Sarkozy entered prison.

An incarceration far from ordinary. ---- As he left his home in the 16th
arrondissement, a crowd of bourgeois gathered to cheer him, applaud him,
and cry out against the injustice: the sign of a class that considers
itself above the law. These images shouldn't obscure the fact that, in
reality, more than three-quarters of the population finds this sentence
and its execution perfectly normal. ---- Yet, nothing is going according
to plan: received at the Élysée Palace by Macron a few days before his
imprisonment, Sarkozy also received the support of the Minister of
Justice, Darmanin, who indicated that he would visit him in prison.

All this noise shouldn't make us forget either the seriousness of the
events-covered in issue 360 of Alternative libertaire-or Sarkozy's past.
A former Minister of the Interior and president known for his hardline,
security-focused approach, the man who now laments the presumption of
innocence didn't bother with it 20 years ago when Zyed Benna and Bouna
Traoré were killed after being chased by the police. Without any
evidence, he accused them of involvement in a burglary. This sparked
several weeks of riots in working-class neighborhoods, which we discuss
in this issue.

And this is just one detail in Sarkozy's long history of antisocial
policies. Let him finally get a taste of his own medicine: it will be
one of the rare times prison will have a hint of justice.
