These voters chose him a year ago not only because he was not Sarkozy, but because he incarnated the values of the true left, even if his centrist moderation seemed a bad omen. Voters of the center or even the center-right are disappointed, too, by their president’s lack of charisma, if not sheer incompetence.
从这个角度讲，难道奥朗德成了法国的戈尔巴乔夫？对左派和绿党来说，他近乎卖国贼。这些选民一年前之所以选择他，不仅是因为他不是萨科齐，也是因为他是真左翼价值的化身，尽管他的中间道路温和立场并非吉兆。中间派选民甚至中右翼也感到失望，因为总统缺乏魅力（如果不是彻底无能的话）。
