PARIS French voters will filter into polling stations withsimplicity and style on Sunday, picking out a wedding-invitationstyle card that lists the name of their favorite presidentialcandidate: incumbent centrist Nicholas Sarkozy or Socialistcandidate Francois Hollande. Securing the card in an envelope,voters drop it in a large, locked Plexiglas box and collectivelyseal the fate of France s leadership. Hollande will be the next president, said Paul Klimis, aParis-based vice president of Human Resources at a globalengineering firm. For him and other voters, the charismatic Sarkozymade too many blunders during his first term: from giving himself a140 percent pay raise early on, showing off his expensive luxurywatch to journalists, marrying Italian singer Carla Bruni tocussing out citizens who disagreed with him. We say he was a bling-bling president, said a politicalscience researcher at SciencePo s Center for Political Research.
Political experts tend to agree that the odds do not look good forSarkozy, the Gaulist candidate who has galled fellow Frenchman withdisplays of non-conformity and a lack of general Frenchness. Faculty at SciencePo noted that Sarkozy dropped out of theirprogram, which sculpts a majority of France s ruling elite. Hedidn t attend other fancy graduate programs in Strasbourg thatare de rigueur. Some say his French speech is unrefined.
Otherssay he doesn t possess the stately panache of previous Frenchpresidents, such as Francois Mitterrand, Jacques Chirac, or Charlesde Gaulle. In the first round of voting in late April, Hollande won 27 percentof the vote, edging out Sarkozy s 26 percent, as right-leaningcandidate Marine Le Pen won a startling 20 percent. In Sunday srun-off, involving the top two finishers from April, Hollande andaim to pick up the votes of Le Pen and other candidates who didn tmake it to the second round. If Hollande wins, France could tilt leftward, throw a new wrenchinto the European financial crisis, and threaten the fabric of theEuropean Union that Sarkozy s France and Angela Merkel s Germanyhave fought hard to salvage in the past few years.
