Sarkozy: French Voters

Europe Dept: Mr. Sarkozy, disliked by many voters for his handling of the economy, promised he could come out victorious on Sunday. Speaking on Europe-1 radio Friday, he said much will depend on whether French voters bother to cast ballots in an election that polls have always predicted Mr. Hollande would win, according to Globe and Mail. Asked Friday what he would do if he loses, Mr. Sarkozy said simply, there will be a handover of power. The result will impact on Europe's efforts to fight its debt crisis, how long French troops stay in Afghanistan and how France exercises its military and diplomatic muscle around the world. But he also sounded increasingly philosophical and prepared for possible defeat. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
