Please comment on about the following from thread: “Riot alert for Sarkozy victory” -—
“The correct title should be #The Riot is ON~...I was on my way to the Picasso Museum this morning and ran across two burned out cars, one a VW Beetle and the other a nice Audi. This is close to the section of Paris (Saint Denis) that had the riots last year, so I think the car burners were doing a little practice the night BEFORE the election. It is clear and cool in Paris today, so if there will be riots, the weather will not be a factor. I took pictures of the cars and of an impromptu Royal rally at the Fountaine St Vincent last night “
Yes, Sarkozy may be the winner - technically - but 10% is hardly a mandate. He needs to immediately reach out to the other side, share power, give them at least half of all committee chairmanships, work with them in a bipartisan way because, after all, nearly half of the French people voted against him.
After all, look at how well it worked for President Bush.
