French President Nicolas Sarkozy says his 23-year-old son has been
"thrown to the wolves" over a bid to secure a top-level business job.

The younger Sarkozy has been under fire as commentators and opposition
politicians questioned his qualification for one of the most prized
and powerful jobs in local politics.

Weighing in for the first time, Mr. Sarkozy told journalists: "Throwing
someone to the wolves, without foundation and in excessive fashion,
is never good."

Amid calls of nepotism, more than 40,000 people signed an online
petition calling for Mr Sarkozy Jnr to pull-out.
