French election, second round today

At No Pasaran, they report that election turnout in France reached 34 percent by noon. That's very impressive.

Now, it remains to be seen who the winner will be.

And it looks like Sarkozy is indeed to be the winner, seeing the results provided by Romandie, Les Temps, and La Libre (also via No Pasaran).

And now, the results: Sarkozy wins with 53 percent, in contrast to Royal, who got about 47 percent (Le Monde calls it 53.5 to 46.5). Phew!

Here's a news clip:
PARIS - French voters chose Nicolas Sarkozy as their new president on Sunday, giving the conservative a comfortable margin for victory and a mandate for change, result projections from four polling agencies showed. His Socialist opponent conceded minutes after polls closed.

The agencies said the conservative won 53 percent of the vote amid massive turnout, dashing Socialist Segolene Royal's hopes of being elected France's first woman president. The projections were based on vote counts from representative samples of hundreds of polling stations across the country.
Bravo! More about the victory available here.

Update: here's also something about Cecilia Sarkozy, the new first lady.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green

  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
