Following his release after only three weeks in prison, former French president Sarkozy announced the publication of a new book, The Journal of a Prisoner, to come out on 10 December
. Article (in French). It will be published by Fayard, a major publishing house owned by far-right billionaire Vincent Bolloré.
Fayard has also notably published far right politician Jordan Bardella's latest book a short while ago, while using the TV & radio outlets and newspapers that Bolloré also owns (CNews, Europe1, le Journal du Dimanche… among many others) to continue propping up Bardella and the far right. I imagine he will likely use the release of Sarkozy's book in the same way, in order for it (and the far right talking points of "journalists" that defended Sarkozy) to be the next "big thing" in the TV news/commentary cycle.
"Fun" fact: Former-PM Manuel Valls (under the "socialist" President Hollande) was already using "islamo-leftism" to attack people further left all the way back in 2017.
