FRENCH President Nicolas Sarkozy, in Egypt with new girlfriend Carla Bruni, is under attack in Paris for flying on his Christmas holiday aboard the private jet of a billionaire businessman.
Opposition political parties accused the president of compromising his office, and asked what the plastics-to-media magnate Vincent Bollore can expect in return for his generosity.
"This mixing of private and public interests damages the impartiality of the state," he said.
