TechnoratiBardot ponders challenging Sarkozy for presidency
Watch out Sarko. French film legend Brigitte Bardot says she is seriously considering a proposal by the Independent Ecological Alliance to run as its candidate in France’s 2012 presidential race.
The 76-year-old animal rights campaigner informed French President Nicolas Sarkozy of her intentions in a letter, which was then passed on to the media by the Bardot Foundation.
"Since you do the opposite of what you say, and since your ministers hide the truth from the French people, I am considering the proposal of the Independent Ecological Alliance to become their candidate for presidential elections in 2012,” Bardot wrote.
According to their website, officials from the Independent Ecological Alliance, Antoine Waechter and Jean-Marc Governatori, approached Bardot about the candidacy at the end of September, saying “we think of you as the best person who could represent us”.
Since Sarkozy took over the presidency, Bardot has written to him on numerous occasions, defending animal rights, and for various political concerns.
