Sarkozy makes a comeback
The man who led France from 2007 to 2012 announced on Facebook he’s joining the race to lead his conservative UMP party in elections next month. The widely expected move is seen as a first step toward running for president in 2017.
He left the Élysée Palace in 2012. Since then, his successor, Socialist François Hollande, has become the most unpopular French leader of modern times over his handling of the economy.
