A Belgian journalist has revealed the casting process that Sarcozy and his team of advisers went through during a visit by the French president to a factory in the north of the country. As you will see, all the extras posing behind Sarcozy in front of the cameras had to be no taller than him: 1.68 cm.
The casting was carried out discreetly, but the journalist, knowing the stature of the president, noticed that strangely no head was above Nicolas Sarkozy:
The smallness of a president should not be measured by his stature, but by the baseness of his decisions.
