Exceptionally Bright Children

We were so pleased to learn that it is not only in Africa where politicians have exceptionally bright children.

Over the past few months we were rewarded by the election of Omar Bongo’s son to succeed his father. And we admired how strongly Colonel el-Gaddafi protects his son Hannibal, arrested by the Swiss authorities (and released very fast). And we learned that the two sons of Tunisian President Ben Ali lead a gang of people stealing luxury yachts in the Mediterranean Sea (thieves like the father ?).

Yesterday we learned that also Mr. Bossi, right wing Italian politician of the Lega Nord known for his slogan “Roma ladrona” (Rome is only robbery) had a brilliant son, Renzo. He was already famous for failing three times his high school diploma (he eventually got it in 2009 at age 21). Now we learn that he will assist a European MP, of the Lega Nord, and that he also became a member of the “observatory” for the Universal Exhibition to be held in Milan in 2015, all this for the low compensation of 12,000€ per month.

But we also learned that Mr. Jean Sarkozy, the 23 year old son of the more famous French President, who just enrolled in the third year of college, will become the CEO of the EPAD, a public entity responsible for the management of La Defense, a prime commercial and residential area of Paris with an annual budget of 1 billion € (1.5 billion $).

Brilliant fathers, brilliant sons. Two new dynasties are born.
