Nicolas Sarkozy: Front De Gauche

Sarkozy Dept: PARIS - Like Barack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy swept to power on a wave of hope for change. Sarkozy's wave crashed on the global financial crisis and his own failings. On Sunday, the French leader faces a tough fight against nine challengers in presidential elections awash in fear and anger, according to Winnipeg Free Press. To voters, the conservative Sarkozy gets much of the blame. While he's likely to make it past Sunday's first-round voting and into the decisive second round May 6, polls show his support waning and french "Front De Gauche" far-left party candidate for the 2012 presidential elections Jean Luc Melenchon delivers his speech during a campaign meeting in Paris, Thursday, April 19, 2012. The first round of the election will take place on April 22, followed by a second round on May 6, 2012.
