As an American living in Paris and married to a Frenchman, let me point out a few things: 85.5 % voter turnout is not only amazing, it is also without precedent. Even in France, 75% voter turnout only last happened 40 years ago. This was a HUGE election. Every last granny in the nursing home went to the polls. 53-47 under those circumstances is one helluva mandate and Sarkozy knows it. Sarkozy just gave his acceptance speech, in which he uttered the somewhat astounding�-and from a political point of view, needless�-line: "...and let me say to our American friends, they can count on our friendship." Don't believe the crap about the car burnings: there were only slightly more car burnings last night than the night before the first round elections. As for Segolene and her remarks concerning violence in the "banlieues": there are certainly many here who saw her utterances as a threat. It was seen, certainly at least on the right, as something akin to blackmail.

Nicolas Sarkozy is the President of France

Nicolas Sarkozy Wins French Presidency Conservative Sarkozy Wins in France With Mandate for Change; Signals Better Ties to U.S. By ANGELA DOLAND Associated Press Writer PARIS May 6, 2007 (AP) The Associated Press Conservative Nicolas Sarkozy won the French presidency by a comfortable margin Sunday and immediately signalled his victory would mean friendly relations with the United States. His socialist opponent, Segolene Royal, conceded defeat for her hopes of becoming France's first woman president. With nearly 70 percent of ballots counted, Sarkozy had just over 53 percent of the vote, according to the Interior Ministry. Washington can "count on our friendship," Sarkozy told hundreds of cheering supporters, though he added that "friendship means accepting that friends can have different opinions." President Bush swiftly phoned the new president-elect to offer congratulations. "The United States and France are historic allies and partners. President Bush looks forward to working with President-elect Sarkozy as we continue our strong alliance," said Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House National Security Council. Largely untested on the global stage, Sarkozy delved into foreign policy in his first speech as president-elect, urging the United States to take the lead on climate change and saying the issue would be a priority for France. "The people of France have chosen change," Sarkozy said, while pledging to be "president of all the French." Voter turnout was projected at 85 percent a level not seen in 40 years thanks to the dynamism of both candidates and the high stakes for a nation losing global clout to neighbors Britain and German and even developing countries like China and India. "I gave it all my efforts, and will continue," Royal told supporters as she conceded defeat. "Something has risen up that will not stop." Sarkozy a charismatic but divisive figure known for uncompromising, even brutal language inherits from Jacques Chirac stagnant wages, a lagging economy and frustration in impoverished, immigrant-heavy suburbs. While exuberant Sarkozy supporters partied in central Paris, police quietly looked out for possible unrest in suburbs where Sarkozy is unpopular and riots broke out in 2005.

I think that N.Sarkozy has a great chance
to make a big progress in the internal scene, regional and international currents:

MANY points must b put into the main consideration

Internal:
1.Putting one bill to make overtime pay tax-free to encourage people to work more, and another'll b put in place tougher sentencing for repeat offenders,making it easier for companies to hire and fire.
2.Is the Right-Wing of Sarkozy'll have "anti-immigrant or xenophobic" politices??
Like his past poltices ,making hard and difficult
immigration laws with the people who arrived from other countries to bring their families into France.
When he's the ministery of interior,he descriped
the people (French-Arab/Islamic ancestry) who gathered in riots from one year and half ago in poor suburbs of French cities as "scum" & "rabble.".
OR assuming without result

Regional:
Supporting the EU brotherhoods & with the neighbours like Britain and Germany.

International:
There's no precise view about his (international) poltices but,

President Bush looks forward to working with President-elect Sarkozy as we continue our strong alliance," said Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House National Security Council.

Any predictions about his future poltices isnot 100% right.
Anyway best wishes and congrats to the French people.

hmmm interesting.....

scattered violence was reported around France. There had been fears that the impoverished suburban housing projects, home to Arab and African immigrants and their French-born children, would erupt again at the victory of a man who labeled those responsible for rioting in 2005 as "scum." Police reported that 270 people were taken in for questioning and that 367 parked vehicles had been torched. On a typical night in France, about 100 cars are burned source

He replaces chirac on may 16?!

That's really quick!

Expect more new immigrant riots...

Congrats to France though

Apologize or I'd pm a mod.

730 cars burnt last night

so yeah he is elected ....first person to congratulate him was bush

and tony blair even sent him a message in french

oh yeah wonderful

what i find lame is our medias sending journalists in the hungarian village where is originally from the sarkozy family and interviewing an grand aunt who saw him once and who was saying "when i saw him with his brothers i knew he would become someone great someday"

common now !

he was a kid !

okay im very bitter

i wasnt supporting segolene royal either but still!

Anyways, this will be good for France. Maybe they will enforce immigration laws and such. And encourage assimalation of the immigrants that are already there. Anyways, I don't really think this guy is a racist. He just wants for the laws to be enforced. And he wants a better France. Maybe he will punish the Parisians for making Paris look like a dump. With garbage everywhere and poo on the sidewalks. Fucking disgusting french.

And yes, Paris is filled with garbage everywhere. I don't live there but for the times I was there. It was the same.

There's a lot of nice things in Paris. I was referring to the amount of garbage that lies around the streets and sometimes the parks.

Paris has Architecture, art, museums, nightlife, food=a awesome city.
