Current Event 9/25/09

Yesterday, on September 24th, Former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin publicly decided to take legal action against French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Sarkozy made a statement that was broadcast Wednesday night implying that de Villepin was guilty for the charges made against him. De Villepin was charged with slander and forgery after he allegedly took part in them during the 2007 Presidential Election. Of course, President Sarkozy cannot be accused of anything until he is out of office, due to the immunity French presidents have while in office. Until a verdict is reached in de Villepin's case, he will be considered innocent until proven guilty.
