Jamais un ancien pr\u00e9sident n\u2019avait \u00e9t\u00e9 frapp\u00e9 avec une telle s\u00e9v\u00e9rit\u00e9 pour des faits qualifi\u00e9s d\u2019association de malfaiteurs, r\u00e9v\u00e9lant le versant sombre d\u2019une victoire \u00e9lectorale jadis pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e comme un triomphe d\u00e9mocratique. La justice, en ordonnant l\u2019ex\u00e9cution provisoire de la peine, a envoy\u00e9 un signal fort : celui d\u2019une implacable d\u00e9termination \u00e0 rappeler que nul, f\u00fbt-il ancien chef de l\u2019\u00c9tat, ne saurait s\u2019\u00e9riger au-dessus des lois.<\/p>\n

L\u2019image de Nicolas Sarkozy quittant le tribunal en homme libre mais promis \u00e0 l\u2019incarc\u00e9ration illustre \u00e0 elle seule la tension entre la grandeur de la fonction pr\u00e9sidentielle et l\u2019abaissement auquel l\u2019assujettit d\u00e9sormais la rigueur judiciaire. <\/p>\n

Ses d\u00e9clarations, o\u00f9 se m\u00ealent d\u00e9fi et posture d\u2019innocence, \u00ab s\u2019ils veulent absolument que je dorme en prison, je dormirai en prison, mais la t\u00eate haute \u00bb, traduisent la dramaturgie d\u2019un homme d\u2019\u00c9tat en lutte contre une v\u00e9rit\u00e9 judiciaire qu\u2019il conteste mais qui s\u2019impose inexorablement \u00e0 lui. <\/p>\n

Au-del\u00e0 de son cas personnel, cette d\u00e9cision dessine en creux l\u2019exigence d\u2019une R\u00e9publique qui entend solder les comptes de ses propres d\u00e9rives, et redonner au peuple la certitude que l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 ne s\u2019arr\u00eate pas au seuil des palais de l\u2019\u00c9lys\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Car cette condamnation ne surgit pas en vase clos. Elle s\u2019inscrit dans une longue suite d\u2019affaires judiciaires qui ont progressivement d\u00e9l\u00e9gitim\u00e9 la stature politique de Nicolas Sarkozy. L\u2019\u00ab affaire des \u00e9coutes \u00bb, qui lui valut en 2021 une condamnation confirm\u00e9e en appel pour corruption et trafic d\u2019influence ; le dossier Bygmalion, o\u00f9 fut sanctionn\u00e9e l\u2019opacit\u00e9 du financement de sa campagne pr\u00e9sidentielle de 2012 ; sans compter les suspicions persistantes li\u00e9es aux circuits financiers \u00e9trangers et aux amiti\u00e9s encombrantes, notamment au Qatar ou aupr\u00e8s d\u2019interm\u00e9diaires douteux : autant de blessures judiciaires venues fracturer l\u2019aura d\u2019un homme qui pr\u00e9tendait incarner le dynamisme et la probit\u00e9 r\u00e9publicaine.<\/p>\n

Ce faisceau de condamnations projette une lumi\u00e8re crue sur une trajectoire politique qui, au lieu d\u2019inscrire son h\u00e9ritier dans le panth\u00e9on des grands pr\u00e9sidents, le voue d\u00e9sormais aux manuels d\u2019histoire judiciaire. <\/p>\n

Nicolas Sarkozy, qui r\u00eavait d\u2019entrer dans la post\u00e9rit\u00e9 comme le r\u00e9formateur inflexible d\u2019une France en mouvement, risque de ne rester dans la m\u00e9moire collective que comme le premier pr\u00e9sident de la Ve R\u00e9publique \u00e0 cumuler de telles condamnations p\u00e9nales. <\/p>\n

Ce contraste saisissant entre ambition et destin, entre gloire \u00e9lys\u00e9enne et disgr\u00e2ce carc\u00e9rale, consacre une le\u00e7on de port\u00e9e universelle : la d\u00e9mocratie, pour survivre, doit se prot\u00e9ger contre ses propres serviteurs lorsqu\u2019ils en trahissent\u00a0les\u00a0fondements.<\/p>\n
