<br/>The French President Nicolas Sarkozy has dismissed accusations that he received illegal donations from the richest woman in France, Liliane Bettencourt. He called the allegations lies and calumny and claimed his opponents were trying to destabilise the government as it tried to reform the pension system. Mr Sarkozy also expressed confidence in Labour Minister Eric Woerth, who is accused of accepting illegal donations. Both Mr Woerth and Mr Sarkozy deny any wrongdoing as does Mrs Bettencourt.<br/> <br/>Tax Inspectors have already cleared Mr Woerth who was the Budget Minister until March of shielding the L'Oreal heiress from an audit.
