It is going to be a tough slog regardless for Sarko. The Socialists will be trotting out all the boogeymen. Sego favors raising the minimum wage by 19.6%. She still supports many of the socialist party policies that make it difficult to fire people. I am sure she will try to scare the elederly about social benefits.

Yes, and she also says she will cut the work week from 35 to 32 hours. It will be interesting to see just how much further these French Democrats will go in order to buy this election. French Democrats are exactly the same as American Democrats, so you can be assured there is no "bottom of the toilet" as far as they are concerned. Dirt and lies will fall like black snow.

The French you call “democrats” are at least honest enough to call themselves what they are, Socialists.

Sego is also attacking Sarko about his “Frenchness” and the socialists are trying to scare the people about what Sarko would do to the social welfare system. It sounds like the Dem playbook.
