Nicolas Sarkozy has introduced tax relief for mortgage payments. In what the French press describes as his first run-in with his government, he over-ruled plans to limit the tax relief to homes purchased after 6 May this year, saying that it should be applied to all buyers. The new president currently has the highest approval ratings of any president since de Gaulle - though a stubborn 34 percent of French voters loathe him.
