"He is also - not entirely to his father's liking - the leader of the majority political group on the council of the wealthiest département in France."

I had to fall off my chair with laughter. This is a typo, right?
Considering how many arms Sarko senior had to twist to make his son get the position (the other, more senior members of the group were NOT happy), that really is rich.

Re: Klatsch (none / 1)

I think the "not to his father's liking" refers to the fact that he didn't become outright president of the département.
