France - EU elections - Dati draws French into European poll with lashings of glamour - by Angelique Chrisafis
Rachida Dati, the French justice minister, may have been lampooned for wearing catwalk fashion at inappropriate moments, but having been forced against her will to run in the European elections she remains defiant in her footwear. Once Dati was Nicolas Sarkozy's symbol of change, hugely popular with the public as the first woman of North African descent to hold a major government post. Now she is using the European election campaign to fight back from her fall from grace. Sarkozy, who insisted Dati run for European parliament as a graceful way of ejecting her from his cabinet, is also aware of the usefulness of the cameras that follow her everywhere.
"This is more than just an opportunity for me, it's crucial. The power of the European parliament is vast – and it has more and more power . . . Anyone who doubts the importance of Europe in our everyday lives is just putting their own future in danger", says Rachida Dati
