France's next president Nicolas Sarkozy, who will take over power on May 16, is on holiday in Malta with his family. Meantime, France was hit by more violent "anti-Sarko" protests and debates.
Sarkozy's election raised protests across the country, many of them violent, which began late Sunday. Some 500 people went on a rampage in the Bastille area of Paris on Monday, smashing windows and telephone cabins.
Riot police charges eventually forced the crowd to disperse after arresting more than 100. Disturbances also took place in the western cities of Nantes and Rennes, and the southern city of Toulouse. |
I watched this on CNN, the French say he is much like US president Bush. And they dont care for him much.
