French President Surrounds Himself by 20 'Short People' to 'Look Tall'
According to reports, the President's aides "vetted" people at the Faurecia motor technology plant in Caligny, south of Caen, Normandy, to stand near Sarkozy to make him look taller than his 5ft 5ins frame.
News broadcast on TV channels across France showed the people selected for the purpose as revealing that they were chosen for being the shortest members of the Faurecia workforce, and made to stand were Sarkozy delivered his speech on the car industry.
This is not the first time when Sarkozy has 'tried to look taller' than his actual height, for he was also spotted using a footstool while delivering a speech alongside the 'taller' Gordon Brown and Barak Obama on a Normandy D-Day beach in June this year.
Sarkozy was also mocked at for standing on his toes during a photo shoot with his wife Carla Bruni and the Obamas at Strasbourg, earlier this year.
However, this time around Sarkozy has been accused of manipulating his media image for political ends.
An Elysee Palace spokesman rubbished the allegations.
"It's totally absurd and grotesque," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.
Faurecia refused to comment on Sarkozy's visit.
