Élection
So it seems like Sarkozy, the center-right candidate, has won the French elections.
BBC:
Some on the right will certainly count this as some sort of victory for America. I'm going to remain skeptical. There's no reason, even when Sarkozy calls us a 'friend,' to assume that means anything is going to have substantive impact.
BBC:
Mr Sarkozy said the US could count on France's friendship, but called on Washington to take a lead in the fight against climate change.
He also said he believed deeply in European integration, but appealed to France's European partners to understand the importance of social protection.
