    Wouldn’t it make more sense if they were refered to by their first names (György and Katalin), instead of their last names?

  3. Christian says:

    He is, from his fathers side, just Hungarian (infact Sarkozy is an Hungarian last name) and from his mothers site, half Sephardi Jewish (from Greece) and half French so totaly Sarkozy is 2/4 Hungarian, 1/4 Jewish, and just 1/4 French. But he is the President of Frence, haha, Hungarians are the best !! :)
