Sarkozy calls for a nationwide ban of Burkini according to the Telegraph.

 The Ex-French president called for a full prohibition on the use of burkini across all of France hilariously warning the French people that the burkini is a symbolic terrorist weapon that middle east immigrants, racial minorities and communist-leaning Left groups were using to tear apart France.

Failed Ex-President

The Ex-French president failed to be reelected in 2012 and is currently seeking once again France's highest post, although many doubt if he could actually win. Sarkozy announced his presidential candidacy last Monday, August 22.

The Telegraph reports that  in his first big campaign speech "Mr Sarkozy stole many ideas of the far-Right Front National, promising to reclaim France for the French."

Sarkozy exclaims: "I refuse to let the burkini impose itself at French beaches and swimming pools. There must be a law to ban it throughout the Republic's territory."

For Sarkozy burkinis are more important than improving France's economy and creating jobs for young people.

A Trump Follower

His comments drew very strong parallels to the bigotry that has laced the campaign of Trump in the US.

Sarkozy vehemently demands that all racial minorities and immigrants, regardless of their ethinic background, to speak French and absorb French Culture.

He further adds that he refuses to accept that in France there are places where men and women had separate time periods to use public swimming pools.

The 61 year old senior citizen said, "Where is the authority when it is the minorities who govern? Never before has so much been ceded to them."

Sarkozy promised the re-establishment of  government authority and national security of France for the French people parroting the same babble that Trump has been spewing in the US.

He also promised the asinine idea of requiring mandatory military service for school dropouts who were either unemployed or not enrolled in full-time education by the age of 18.

Sarkozy's unabashed racial bigotry and asinine ideas drew outrage in France and in the International community.

France's Highest Administrative Court Disagrees

London' mayor Sadiq Khan, who is a Muslim,  has spoken out strongly against the ban of burkinis.  "I don't think anyone should tell women what they can and can't wear," Mr Khan said to the Telegraph.

Mayor Khan's counterpart in Paris, Mayor Anne Hidalgo is calling out for an end to "burkini hysteria" and together with Mayor Khan has supported campaigners who are fighting to have the ban reversed in France's highest administrative court the State Council.

The State Council sided with the campaigners in a landmark ruling last Friday that overturned the ban on burkinis.

According the Atlantic, the State Council did not consider the burkini a threat to national security stating that :"There is no evidence that there were any risks that public order was disturbed by people's choice of bathing garment. With such risks being absent, nobody could implement a measure prohibiting access to the beach and bathing. The judges of the State Council thus suspend this ban".

The State Council's decision shot down an earlier decision last Monday of a lower court that banned wearing a burkini in the beach  stating that it was "necessary, appropriate, and proportionate" to preventing public disorder.

Sarkozy's presidential campaign based on racial hate is in great peril of disintegrating after the judges of the State Council has shown how asinine his ideas are.
