Wednesday evening, Nicolas Sarkozy (UMP) and Ségolène Royal (Socialist Party) debated live on national TV in France. About 20 million viewers, about half the number of registered voters watched. This was the only head-to-head debate between the two remaining presidential candidates, and only the fifth such debate in the history of the French Fifth Republic.
My ruling passion has a name and that's action. I want to act. And if the French people pick me - whether it's Mme Royal or myself - they'll choose us to act, to take action, to change, to get results. That's my vision of a modern president of the republic.
The second round of popular voting will be held this Sunday, May 6, 2007. In the first round, Sarkozy got 31.18% of the vote, while Royal received 25.87%. This time they will be the only two candidates.
