Nicolas Sarkozy, born on 28 January 1955 in Paris, France, [2] has been President of France since 16 May 2007, succeeding Jacques Chirac.
He was the leader of the UMP, and was elected President of the French Republic on 6 May 2007. He defeated Ségolène Royal, of the Socialist Party.
Sarkozy is known for his conservative law and order politics and his admiration for a new economic model for France. He wants a more liberalised economy for France because he sees the United States and the United Kingdom as positive examples. Until 26 March 2007, he served as the Minister of the Interior of France. His nickname Sarko is used by both supporters and opponents.
