FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Today French voters are choosing a new president in the runoff vote. The defending President Nicolas Sarkozy has already claimed the election is on a knife’s edge, as he closed in on rival Francois Hollande in the final polls.
The most recent polling has revealed that Sarkozy lags behind with 47 per cent of expected votes. Socialist Francois Hollande boasts 52.5 per cent of promised votes.
Anyway, president in office Nicolas Sarkozy has managed to narrow the gap which was initially 10 per cent.
The first round of presidential elections on April 22 brought Nicolas Sarkozy 28.08 per cent of votes whereas his rival Francois Hollande was slightly ahead with 28.63 per cent.
Still, the intrigue remains . The far-right candidate and leader of the National Front Marine le Pen, who gained 17.9 per cent of votes in the first round, refused to endorse either candidate. She called on her supporters to vote for no one and cast empty vote papers. So nothing is certain until the ballots are cast.
Incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy has come under fire from fierce critics of his economic policies and high unemployment rate. During his presidential campaign he has promised a deficit-free budget by 2016 and possible introduction of protectionist measures in the French economy. He also played in the right field, promising to toughen migration regulations.
His opponent, socialist Francois Hollande, has spoken against cuts in public expenditure. His presidential economic program includes a tax boost on wealthy citizens and big companies, and also increased financing of the public sector.
If Hollande wins, he will become the first Socialist president of France in 17 years.
Francois Hollande accused Nicolas Sarkozy of being a divisive president, alluding to opponent’s anti-immigration rhetoric for instance, and promised to unite the nation.
Hollande says he can bring back equality in France, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor.
Polls have already opened in France’s overseas departments and embassies.
In continental France polling stations open at 8am (07:00 GMT) and will close at 6pm, or 8pm in big cities.
Preliminary results are expected to come in the late evening today.
