For all the authoritarian habits of de Gaulle or François Mitterand, Sarkozy’s personalization of the presidency is unprecedented in the history of the Fifth Republic. Sarkozy makes little secret of his disdain for members of his own party, luring Socialists like Kouchner and Rama Yade, the junior minister for foreign affairs, into his cabinet, and naming retired Socialist politicians like former Prime Minister Michel Rocard to head national commissions and represent France in international treaty negotiations.
就所有戴高乐式或是密特朗式集权主义的惯常行为而言，萨科奇把总统权力个人化是在第五共和国的历史上开了先例。萨科奇很少掩饰自己对于党内同志的蔑视，他引诱社会党人库什内和拉玛·雅德（外交事务次长）（ 请注意 ：我查GOOGLE，拉玛·雅德现在的头衔是： France’s secretary of state for human rights ，法国人权事务秘书，新闻稿是 3 月 19 号的，不知是不是原作者出了问题 ）进入内阁，提名退休的社会党政治家——例如前总理米歇尔·罗卡德——来挑头承担国家任务，在国际条约谈判中代表法国。由于反对派社会党出现全方位崩溃，很可能必然会输掉2012年的大选，萨科奇可以毫无顾忌地蔑视自己的党派。
