What has The president of France done for France?

Answer 1

So far President Sarkozy has engaged a huge amount of reforms.

A few of them are viable, even fewer are the one which actually took effect.

Mainly his right-winged policy aims at reducing the cost of the public services, first come:

- Health care

- Justice

- National Education

Also the current president has proceeded to the privatization of many huge state monopols (electricity, post services) and plans to do the same with the public railways.

It's to be known that France is a country with high income taxes that relies a lot on its public services, known to be among the best in the world.

The policy of Nicolas Sarkozy is thus very very contested in France. Nicolas Sarkozy is the most unpopular president of the 5th Republic.
