What did he say in French? (none / 1)

"Was fällt ihnen ein, in diesem Ton mit mir zu reden!"

What exactly were his original French words?

Did the French press cover this incident at all?

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

If I am not mistaken, the story is from an anonymous leak. But I am curious too whether someone can find this in the French media.

It has been mentioned. Did I hear it on the radio, or on Canal + again? There's an article here in the Nouvel Obs that gives Sarko's words as Qu'est-ce qui vous prend de me parler sur ce ton? But this is based on the Rheinische Post account.

I seem to remember hearing about this at the time - this was the Brussels meeting in July. And I have a vague idea I commented here on it. But I can't find anything.
