Nicolas Sarkozy plans to waste no time pushing through a weighty package of pro-market, anti-crime and immigrant reforms. But at first, Sarkozy’s party will have to battle for a majority in parliament in a new election next month. This win will give Sarkozy a strong mandate for his vision of France’s future. However, Sarkozy’s task will not be easy. Sarkozy is conscious, that he will have to face resistance from powerful unions. They want to make it easier for companies to hire and fire employees.
Sarkozy will take over power from outgoing leader Jacques Chirac on May 16; his government would be installed May 19 or 20. Violence scattered around France on election night. It is a probability that Arab and African’s immigrants and their French-born children, can erupt again because of Sakrozy’s victory. They remember that the president-elect labeled those responsible for rioting in 2005 as scum. They will not forget the abrasive style which the son of Hungarian refugee presented. Late Sunday, small bands of youth’s hurled stones at police at the Place de la Bastille, in Paris. The police volleyed with tear gas. Sakrozy said that he wants to be president, “of all the French, without exception”.
