French right deals major blow to ruling Socialists in local elections
2015-03-31
[Hurriyet Daily News] La Belle France's ruling Socialists took a drubbing in run-off local polls on March 29 that saw major gains for former president Nicolas Sarkozy
...23rd President of the French Republic. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit...
 and the far-right ahead of 2017 presidential elections.

Right-wing parties, spearheaded by Sarkozy's UMP, won a thumping victory, taking 66 councils out of a possible 101, according to results compiled by AFP.

Voters punished the Socialist government of President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
 for failing to revive the slumping economy, with left-wing parties winning only 34 councils. There was still one council result to be declared.

The results mean 25 councils switched from left to right-wing party control with only one going in the opposite direction.
