FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Following a strong turnout in the election, Sarkozy limped into the second round, with the opinion polls envisioning a comfortable victory for Hollande in the second round.
For months, Hollande has led second-round polls by at least 10 percent over Sarkozy.
Hollande took 28.4 percent of the votes in the Sunday election, while Sarkozy, secured 25.5 percent of the ballots.
“I would like to warmly thank the voters who, with their votes, have placed me in this position. It’s an honor and a pleasure. This is a gesture of confidence in the project that I presented to the French to rebuild our country with justice to protect finances, to find growth and jobs,” Hollande told the cheering crowd of supporters following his victory on Sunday night.
“We think that he (Hollande) will win in the second term. We are confident and we all wish he could win because France needs to change,” a supporter of Hollande told Press TV.
Sarkozy has become the first incumbent president ever to lose the first round of the voting, which is considered a major blow to the momentum of his campaign.
“The crucial moment has come to compare projects and choose a personality. This is about deciding who will have to protect the French for the next five years,” Sarkozy told his supporters.
Hollande has censured Sarkozy’s economic record, saying that he has trapped France in a downward spiral of austerity measures and job cuts.
Sarkozy, on the other hand, says his rival is inexperienced and would spark panic in financial markets with his ‘reckless promises.’
Meanwhile, nearly one in five voters selected another candidate Marine Le Pen of the National Front, a slightly bigger score than predicted. Far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon won 11.7 percent of the votes, and centrist Francois Bayrou received 8.5 percent.
