Sarkozy has called free trade “a policy of naiveté,” and wants to take a number of steps that would stand in the way of economic globalization. Although he does want to make the French labor market less rigid, he would block foreign takeover bids of French companies and protect Airbus workers from possible job losses.
Sarkozy将自由贸易称为“天真的政策”，并想采取一系列阻碍经济全球化的举措。虽然他一心想要增加法国劳动力市场的灵活性，但同时又想阻止外国公司收购法国公司并保护空中客车公司的工人不被裁员。保护法国不受投机资本主义危害似乎就意味着通过干预自由贸易来保护本地就业。
