Trichet is a tough guy with a long history of standing up to the French politicians. They couldn’t make him bend when, as Governor, he successfully defended the independence of the Bank of France, and they won’t make him bend now.
特里谢一直以强硬著称，面对法国领袖毫不示弱。在当法国央行行长时，他没有屈服于法国政府的压力，捍卫了银行的独立地位，同样，现在的法国领导人不能使他屈服。
