Iako je se iskusna povjerenica iz Luksemburga već ispričala zbog svojih komentara, Sarkozy je novinarima u Briselu saopćio da neće nikome dozvoliti da "vrijeđa" njega niti njegovu zemlju.
Although the veteran commissioner from Luxembourg had already apologised for her remarks, Sarkozy told reporters in Brussels that he will not allow anyone to "insult" him or his country.
