Biography of Nicolas Sarkozy
This French leader is a native of another European country - Hungary. More precisely, his father was a representative of the oldest family of Hungarians, who had to literally flee from his native country to France, where in 1955 Nicolas was born.
The boy’s upbringing was actually engaged in the imperious grandfather, the father of his French mother. Gradually, the influence of his father, who tried to instill in the boy a love of his ancestral homeland, came to naught on Nicolas, and he grew up a Frenchman.
Sarkozy was openly indifferent to education, but at the insistence of his grandfather he had to go to one of the Paris universities, where he received a law degree and even became a master of civil law. This has become decisive in the choice of the field of activity and in the success of a career.
