French President-Elect Vows to Bring Back National Pride
French conservative president-elect Nicolas Sarkozy says his runoff election victory Sunday has given him a clear mandate for change. His new administration is expected to make sweeping economic and social reforms.
The president-elect vowed to bring back France's national pride, saying he will be the president of all French citizens. He pledged to "restore the value of work, authority, morals, respect and merit." Mr. Sarkozy also promised to refresh relations with the United States and the rest of Europe.
President-elect Sarkozy's five-year term is scheduled to begin May 16th. Scattered rioting broke out late Sunday in Paris and several other French cities after Mr. Sarkozy's victory was announced. Police used water cannons and tear gas to quell the violence.
