Jan Pepijn Servaas : Until everything is revealed clearly, so far I agree with Francois Baroin about French government attitude that respects the two principles: the United States judicial process & the "presumption of innocence" principle.
Almira Izzati : sex scandals always dropped the reputation of every good name.
Pranay Suresh : His defeat will also bring a big impact. This will be a disaster for all parts of Europe and the world, because the IMF, under his leadership and for the first time in history, has no intention of selling its superior financial interests. And it will really be a terrible sign.
Jan Pepijn Servaas : He really stunes Martine Aubry. His affair has long been regarded as common knowledge. But a lawsuit against him - including attempted rape, sexual acts illegal - is different, even in France and elsewhere in Europe, where the voters generally show a loose attitude, and unlike in the U.S. on sexual behavior of the leading politicians, especially Berlusconi's.
