Camus, Veni, Vici

Sarko seems to be trying the impossible with Albert Camus. A right-wing president trying to relocate the body of a left wing hero?

Albert was a French author, philosopher, and journalist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.

Apparently Sarko wants to Albert's body by moving his body to the Panthéon in Paris, the last resting place of great Frenchmen (and of one great French woman).

It has caused a big storm in France.

So for Sarko I came, I saw, I conquered should read I came, I saw but did not conquer - whereas Camus, Veni, Vici!
