French celebrities desert Sarkozy in wake of attack on urban poor.

France's interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, has discovered that calling people louts and rabble and threatening to "clean them off the streets" has won him few friends in celebrity circles. Mr Sarkozy, whose injudicious use of language was partly blamed for exacerbating the recent urban riots, is now being abandoned by his friends in high places. Worse still, many of them are lining up to publicly put the boot into the man who hopes to be president in 2007.
... Yannick Noah, actor and comedian Jamel Debbouze, film director Luc Besson - of Subway, Nikita, Big Blue and Leon fame - are among those attacking Mr Sarkozy, who has been compared to far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen and Napoleon. "Calling people racaille, I've not heard anything so violent since Le Pen and his hatred of anyone who is different," Besson told the film magazine Premier. Even Debbouze, who had previously expressed qualified support for the minister, condemned him.The comedian Muriel Robin told a chatshow: "For a guy to use words like Kärcher makes me feel bad."
The former footballer Eric Cantona told the Observer: "It's not easy growing up in a bad neighbourhood. People look at you and treat you in a certain way. In France we are capable of celebrating a man like Napoleon, who brought back slavery. Today he has been replaced by a man who, for me, is Le Pen with a mask: Sarkozy." Cantona is not the first to make the comparison with the Front National leader. The Aids campaign group Act-Up has pasted posters around Paris featuring Mr Sarkozy and the slogan "Vote Le Pen". In his blog, director Matthieu Kassovitz, whose film La Haine (Hate) was set in the banlieues, said: "Like [George] Bush, Sarkozy is not defending an idea, he is responding to fears that he himself has put in peoples' heads."
In its editorial, Le Figaro said: "It's not a fashion, it's an epidemic. It's impossible to turn on the television or radio without hearing a singer, actor or sportsman railing against the interior minister." Despite this, the paper noted that opinion polls showed that many French people agreed with the minister. And it pointed out that Mr Sarkozy could still count on Gérard Depardieu for support. Whether that will sway the voters in 2007 is anyone's guess.

Fin du match en ce moment et victoire d`Osasuna sur Atletico Madrid, 2 buts contre 1. Il faut noter un gros match de Webo qui cedera sa place a Fran Moreno a la 89eme minute. A force de travail et de discipline, notre compatriote gagne le coeur de son entraineur. Bravo, Achille.

Pardon explique moi un peu le rebond de la balle sur le 1er but d'Impôts FC,c'est la 1ère fois de ma vie que je vois une transversale arriver en cloche et rebondir sur place,mais ce genre de rebond semble normal pour les reporters de la CRTV.Les lois de la physique ont changé au sade Ahmadou Ahidjo ou quoi?
A propos le coup du chapeau c'est 3 buts à la suite,comme tu es déjà lancé sur le coup du foulard,c'est sûr que dimanche tu seras l'homme que AJ doit nous amener à la CAN.(rires révèlateurs).
