SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; FRENCH PRESIDENT-ELECT NICOLAS SARKOZY'S 
FOREIGN POLICY; SECRETARY RICE TO RUSSIA; UK PM TONY BLAIR LEGACY; 
05/16/07; BUENOS AIRES 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Major international stories today include French President-elect 
Nicolas Sarkozy's expected foreign policy; US Secretary of State 
Condoleezza Rice's trip to Russia; and UK PM Tony Blair's legacy. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "Sarkozy, with his eyes placed on Europe and also in Washington" 
 
Patricio Arana, on special assignment in Paris for daily-of-record 
"La Nacion," wrote (05/16) "Nicolas Sarkozy's top foreign policy 
priorities will be his ties to the EU, the US, Russia and China, the 
Mediterranean countries and Africa, in this order... His diplomatic 
action will sway between continuity (of long-standing policies) and 
the introduction of new world approaches. 
 
"Obviously enough, the question is to what extent his foreign policy 
will entail his purpose of breaking with the past. 
 
"... If Jacques Chirac seemed to have a world view of international 
politics..., Sarkozy seems to have a more constrained range of 
action, in which major priorities will be his ties to Europe and the 
US. According to French political analyst Bertrand Badie, 'he has a 
limited knowledge of societies of other hemispheres and, in spite of 
his pro-Israeli fondness, he never committed to the conflicts that 
dramatically mark the evolution of our world.' 
 
"In Washington, they expressed satisfaction following the 
announcement of Sarkozy's victory. President George W. Bush called 
him on the same day to congratulate him and the president-elect 
devoted one paragraph of his speech to the US-French relationship. 
 
"That night, Sarkozy said 'A friendly and allied country,' 
(referring to the US). His attitude breaks with the tradition 
established by Charles de Gaulle, which Chirac fully honored by 
opposing the war in Iraq in 2003. With Sarkozy, Washington may rely 
on having one more ally in Europe. 
 
"Regarding the Middle East, one can expect that France's clout will 
lessen, particularly because Sarkozy does not have the personal ties 
Chirac used to have with several Arab leaders. 
 
"The new president underscored that his concern over Israel's 
security includes the creation of an 'independent' Palestinian 
State, although he added that it is in the EU 'that the French 
policy on the Middle East should manifest itself.' 
 
"... His ties to Moscow promise to be frozen. More than once, 
Sarkozy criticized Russia's conflict with Chechnya. Additionally, 
his victory in the French presidential election did not go down well 
in Russia. 
 
"Latin America, which was absent from his election campaign, should 
not expect major changes in its ties to France." 
 
- "Rice and Putin, far from reaching an understanding, only managed 
to agree on rhetorical issues" 
 
Business-financial "InfoBae" reports (05/16) "(US Secretary of 
State) Condoleezza Rice's visit to Russia only served to demonstrate 
the deep disagreement between Moscow and Washington, even if both 
countries will now downplay their rhetoric. 
 
"... When arriving in Moscow, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice 
did not hide her interest in rebuffing versions that a new Cold War 
was emerging between Washington and Moscow. 
 
"While she asserted that her meetings with the Kremlin's main 
government officials and Russian President Vladimir Putin himself 
were fruitful, both parties did not make much progress in reaching 
agreement on sensitive issues for their own interests. 
 
"While Rice asserted that 'we will have points of disagreement, but 
there is no doubt that the (bilateral) relationship needs to be free 
from exaggerated rhetoric,' strong expressions were heard again when 
dealing with the 'thorny issues' between the two countries that were 
in conflict after the Second World War. 
 
"The White House purpose of installing a radar system in the Czech 
Republic and a group of interceptive missiles in Poland as the first 
elements of an antimissile shield are seen by the Kremlin as a 
threat to its own security and the regional strategic balance as 
well as a dangerous US step forward in its former area of 
influence." 
 
 
- "Blair's legacy and farewell" 
 
Leading "Clarin" editorializes (05/16) "After ten years in 
government, UK PM Tony Blair has finally announced his expected 
decision to leave power in the next weeks. 
 
"... Blair has left strong accomplishments as the leader of the 
renewed Labor Party... He epitomizes for the European left wing what 
Margaret Thatcher did for conservatives of past decades. 
 
"He managed to reform the country's agenda and the domestic and 
foreign political debate, made the economy more competitive and 
modernized the British society. He also imposed a greater 
rapprochement with Europe and an active commitment to Northern 
Ireland's peace process. 
 
"Nonetheless, his luck started to change following his decisive 
alignment with the US in invading Iraq based on arguments that were 
then rebutted by events. His international image was irreversibly 
tainted by the outcome of that war, which casts a shadow over his 
farewell."
