One month after his release from La Santé prison, former president Nicolas Sarkozy publishes his book Journal d’un prisonnier with Fayard on Wednesday. In this 216-page work, he recounts his three weeks of detention, religious reflections, and political critiques. Excerpts reveal an experience marked by isolation and perceived injustice.
In his book 'Journal of a Prisoner', Nicolas Sarkozy advocates for the broadest possible political gathering without exclusions, implying an inevitable alliance with the far right. This stance marks a profound break from Jacques Chirac's legacy, who had established a cordon sanitaire against the National Front. The former president justifies this strategic shift amid the weakness of his former party, The Republicans.

Two La France insoumise deputies attempted to visit the isolation wing of La Santé prison to meet Nicolas Sarkozy, but their request was denied. Accompanied by journalists, Ugo Bernalicis and Danièle Obono invoked their parliamentary visitation rights, drawing criticism for 'voyeurism'. The incident led to the postponement of visits by the former president's family and lawyers.
