Nicolas Sarkozy

"Raised to the rank of commander of the Legion of Honor in July 2007, decorated at the hands of Nicolas Sarkozy, Bruno Lussato had his entree to the Elysée, thanks in particular to the chief of staff of the former president. If there is a geopolitical issue on which Bruno Lussato has tried to weigh, it is indeed that of opposition to the entry of Turkey into the European Union. With, as a corollary, his desire to rather prioritize strengthening relations with Russia, "a country and a people much closer to us culturally, and with whom a partnership would be more natural," he explained."

"he became the historic mentor of industrialists Bernard Arnault and Vincent Bolloré, and to a lesser extent the advisor of François Pinault, as well as Nicolas Sarkozy, at least in his early years. He also counts among his European "protégés": Italian John Elkann, the heir to the Agnelli dynasty, or banker Gerardo Braggiotti, also a former Lazard associate."

"As proof: during the presentation of his Grand Cross insignia of the Legion of Honor in front of the Crème de la Crème of the CAC 40, did Nicolas Sarkozy not say to him, "If I am here today, it is thanks to you"? For years, did Antoine Bernheim not repeat to him, "You were born to do politics; you are the best and you will be president"?"

"At the Fouquet's, during the famous little party among friends intended to celebrate Nicolas Sarkozy's "victory," the two barons of capitalism looked at each other like cats and dogs. At the wedding of his son Yannick to Chloé Bouygues, Martin's niece, on June 17, 2006, at the Armenonville pavilion, Vincent Bolloré even allegedly confided, "When my son told me he was marrying a Bouygues, I thought of that sketch by Muriel Robin where her daughter tells her she wants to marry a Black man, and she responds: a Black man... black?"..."
