Many in Sarkozy’s governing UMP have become increasingly public in expressing their unhappiness with his decision-making method. In effect, rather than according serious room for decision-making to his prime minister, François Fillon, or to Fillon’s cabinet, Sarkozy has arrogated almost every lever of power to himself and his advisers within the Élysée Palace.
在萨科奇统领的“人民运动联盟”（UMP）里，许多人针对萨氏的决策方式越来越公开地表示不满。实际上，萨科奇不是把足够的决策空间留给他的总理弗朗索瓦·菲永，或是菲永的内阁，而是将差不多每一层权力都抓在自己和他在爱丽舍宫里的那帮顾问手里。
