Shirt without tie and wide smile, the new portrait of President Sarkozy on Facebook is deliberately cool and relaxed. According to Franck Louvrier, the President's adviser, we have "to adapt the page to the support". Besides official news, we learn that the President's favorite book is "Red and Black" by Stendhal. To celebrate this new version of the official page of the President, the Elysée publish a video filmed by the weekly magazine "Femme Actuelle" during an interview with Carla Bruni Sarkozy in the Elysee salons.
The President enters in the room, sits on a corner seat, exchange some affectionate glances with his wife and tells her workday. A video almost intimate, in any case very different from pictures posted on the Elysee official website.
Nicolas Sarkozy has nearly 110,000 supporters on his facebook page. Far from Barack Obama (6.3 million) and close to Silvio Berlusconi (130,000). But it is much better than leaders who have not yet invested the social network, as Gordon Brown, José Luis Zapatero, or even Angela Merckel.
