I regret that Francois Hollande has not made any proposals upstream, “he told Mr Sarkozy, who also criticized the EU-Turkey agreement on refugees.

“To think that Turkey can sustainably manage and solve these problems is a mistake. Europe can she trust a Turkish power, which evolves more and more towards an authoritarian regime? I dispute it, “he said.

“It is not the fact of having + + hot spots in Turkey that I dispute in the agreement with that country, it is the abolition of visas, irresponsible in the current security climate, and the revival of negotiations membership, incomprehensible, given the evolution of the Turkish power over civil liberties, “insists the President of Republicans (LR).

“I will not criticize Merkel and German politics. But what shocked me is to see Merkel negotiating alone with the Turkish government. Where was Mr. Holland? Where is the voice of France? When Barack Obama came to Europe, he met the Chancellor in Germany, after stopping in the UK. Does France have disappeared from the diplomatic card? What a humiliation! “, Accused Mr. Sarkozy.
