Moment of truth looms for a 'desperate' Sarkozy - FRENCH ELECTIONS 2012 - FRANCE 24
French President Nicolas Sarkozy told supporters on Friday the "moment of truth" had come. But with the first round of the presidential election less than 48 hours away it appears the pressure is beginning to take its toll on the head of state.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy chose the last official day of campaigning before Sundays first round vote to lash out at election rules - as well as issue an apology to the nation.
The incumbent president is under pressure, with most opinion polls showing him trailing behind Socialist Party candidate Francois Hollande by up to three points for the first round.
