法國執政黨在地方選舉中受挫大綱

France's ruling Socialist party and its leader Francois Hollande took a drubbing in local elections Sunday from the conservative UMP party led by former President Nicolas Sarkozy and the far-right National Front - or FN - party with its anti-immigration and anti-Islam platform.

Voters went to the run-off polls to choose 4,108 people who will sit on 98 local councils.

The Socialists lost about half of their councils to the conservative UMP party, opening the way for Mr. Sarkozy to mount a campaign for another bid at the presidency in 2017.

The FN did not win an entire council, but scores of its candidates across the country won seats on local councils. The FN wins are seen as the beginning of grassroots support for the presidential campaign for the group's leader, Marine Le Pen, who has been outspoken in her views against immigration and the integration of Islam into French society.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls acknowledged the "setback" for the Socialists and said the far-right FN's gains were "too high."

Mr. Valls also said France had declared its "anger at a daily life that is too difficult" and promised to "redouble" the government's efforts to revive the French economy, the second largest in the eurozone.在法國星期日舉行的地方選舉中，執政黨社會黨及其領袖奧朗德受挫於前總統薩科齊領導的保守派人民運動聯盟以及極右翼黨派民族陣線。民族陣線以反移民和反伊斯蘭作爲競選綱領。

選民們在決選中投票選舉98個地方議會的4108名議員。

社會黨控制的大約一半地方議會被人民運動聯盟拿走，薩科齊可以據此爭取2017年再度當選總統。

民族陣線沒有贏得所有議會的控制權，但該黨候選人在全國各地的地方議會中都贏得了議席。民族陣線在選舉中的斬獲被視爲該黨領袖勒龐的總統競選活動開始獲得底層民衆的支持。勒龐公開反對移民，並反對伊斯蘭教融入法國社會。

法國總理瓦爾斯承認社會黨“受挫”，並表示極右翼政黨民族陣線贏得“太多”。

瓦爾斯還說，法國民衆對日常生活過於艱苦感到煩惱。他保證政府將加倍努力，振興法國經濟。法國是歐元區的第二大經濟體。
