Sarkozy - the likely candidate of France's ruling conservative Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) in the May 2007 presidential elections - was accused of fishing for votes in the anti-immigrant swamp, where Jean-Marie Le Pen and Philippe de Villiers, the leaders of two French far-right parties, have been making inroads.
