I could see Sarkozy presenting himself in those days as the son of an exiled Hungarian aristocrat wanting to regain the family's lands by fighting communism wherever it raised its head. I cannot believe the CIA did not take a serious interest in such an organization and was not giving assistance to such groups in the May '68 period and after; that was literally the job of the CIA at the time. I would not be surprised if Sarko made friendships back then which have served him well over his political life. This is not to say Sarkozy was made President by the CIA, but politics is all about friendships and alliances.
