The French mass media call President Nicolas Sarkozy's political style “new.” It is true that he won the presidential election under the slogan of “severing ties” with the past, “advancing innovation” and “taking action” toward the creation of “a new France.” But actually, one look into the contents of Sarkozy's professed reform tells us that it is no more than “conservative revolution” that combines new liberalism and new conservatism. The truth is that there is nothing new about it.
