 France often takes pride in calling itself a Republic. Invoking the Republic has even become a political mantra, repeated across the entire political spectrum. Yet the sheer frequency of these references has emptied the term of much of its meaning. The reactions to Nicolas Sarkozy’s conviction suggest that many journalists, politicians, and citizens still struggle to grasp what it truly means to be “republican”. Although the judgment of the Paris Criminal Court is particularly thorough, it has provoked widespread controversy, reopening the enduring debate on political justice in France – while also appearing as a sign of the strengthening of the republican ideal.
