"In a famous quote, French politician Nicolas Sarkozy once declared figuratively that a certain banlieue involved with the 2005 French civil unrest should be "cleaned out with a Kärcher" (nettoyer la cité au Kärcher)— meaning all criminals and other undesirables should be removed and washed out. This comment was highly controversial."
