His recent revelations WikiLeaks report that the NSA has been spying on French presidents for the past ten years.
"The French people have a right to know that their elected government is being subjected to hostile surveillance by a supposed ally. "French readers can expect more topical and important revelations in the near future," said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Just like with the scandal in Germany where the NSA eavesdropped on her conversations Angela Merkel, η υπηρεσία των ΗΠΑ δεν φαίνεται να διστάζει να κατασκοπεύει τους προέδρους της Γαλλίας.
At duration In the ten-year period covered by WikiLeaks' leaked classified documents, it appears that three French presidents were the recipients of NSA surveillance: Francois Hollande (2012-present), Nicolas Sarkozy (2007–2012), and Jacques Chirac (2007-2005).
Compared to past leaks, the documents released this time are fewer but highlight the US interest in issues such as the Greek economic crisis, the internal affairs of the European Union, the relations between France and Germany, the conflicts in Palestine, and the last global economic crisis.
Also important was the interest of the NSA in France's efforts to control the UN Security Council, where it is one of five permanent members, along with the United Kingdom, the US, Russia and China.
Knowledge of the movements of France could provide insightful details very helpful in US foreign policy, but also in the control of the UN Security Council.
There will almost certainly be quite a few reactions by the French government in the following days, just as happened with the Angela Merkel scandal.
Let us recall that in the end the German researchers stopped their legal research due to a lack of substantial evidence and non-compliancework on the part of the NSA.
