That makes him an authoritarian, not a fascist. Fascism is a specific political system which includes corporatism and a militarisation of the society.

I agree (for once!) with fredouil and Rom: I think it is not relevant and even counterproductive to use the word fascism to qualify an authoritarian politician like Sarkozy.

If they're so open, how come anyone needs to get to know them?

Cut the crap, fredouil. Last time you guaranteed Le Pen wasn't going to get his signatures and be forced to stand down. As usual, Le Pen was making himself out to be a victim. You should get to know what you're talking about.
