64% of Sarkozy's voters would ally with Le Pen

19:48 24 APR 2012 

(AGI) Paris - At least 64% of French voters who voted for Nicolas Sarkozy would hold their noses and and ally themselves with the extreme right of Marine Le Pen than allow Francois Hollande to win the elections. This applies to the May 6 presidential elections as well as June's legislative elections.

  The same opinion was supported by 59% of those who voted for the Front National, the OpinionWay polling organization reports for the Les Echos financial newspaper. Officially, respecting the historical 'conventio ad excludendum' of the del Front National, the leadership of the UMP are conducting negotiating behind the scenes. 

But to know who will take the votes of the extreme right one will have to wait for May 1, when Marine Le Pen reveals all. Even Hollande is courting, if not openly, the hard right, whom he has called, in many cases, an expression of protest against the government more than support for the right.
