France's Royal attacks Sarkozy as threat to civil peace - by Carole Landry
Segolene Royal on Tuesday warned France faces the risk of unrest if rightwinger Nicolas Sarkozy wins the presidential election at the weekend and puts in motion change with "brutality." With five days to go before the vote, Royal told some 60,000 supporters at a Paris sports stadium that she was the only candidate who "wants to reform France and wants civil peace in my country. We are confronting a risk: the brutality in the conduct of public affairs could endanger social peace and civil peace," said Royal. "This danger is contained in the programme of the rightwing candidate," she said at the rally attended by some of France's top music stars.
Royal is to come face-to-face with Sarkozy in a much-anticipated television debate on Wednesday that is expected to be watched by more than 20 million viewers.
