Chirac takes win
in French election
By Andrea Gerlin
Knight Ridder Newspapers
PARIS (KRT) — Fearing a set
back to democracy, French voters
handed incumbent center-right
President Jacques Chirac a land
slide victory Sunday in a resound
ing rejection of far-right leader
Jean-Marie Le Pen's candidacy.
With 96 percent of the vote
counted, Interior Ministry figures
gave Chirac 82 percent, the largest
margin of victory in the history of
France's Fifth Republic, its
method of governance since 1958.
The next highest margin occurred
in 1969, when Georges Pompidou
won 58 percent.
Chirac's reelection had been
widely expected after two weeks of
nationwide demonstrations and
debate, prompted by the controver
sial Le Pen's second-place finish in
the first round of voting April 21.
Still, the triumph by Chirac, 69,
was reluctantly accepted by his
left-wing opponents Sunday, some
of whom dressed in black as they
cast ballots to defeat Le Pen, head
of the National Front.
Clad in black clothes at his
polling station in Paris, leftist local
council member Gilles Alayrac de
scribed Sunday as a dark day for
France. “It was very difficult, but I
did it for a good reason,” Alayrac
said after voting for Chirac. “For
the National Front to be second in
the first round is quite worrying. ”
Chirac, whom many French vot
ers viewed as an unsavory alterna
tive to Le Pen because of corrup
tion allegations against him,
moved immediately to reassure the
country that he would use his next
five years in office to address the
issues that enabled Le Pen's rise.
He promised to reaffirm principal
French values by improving secu
rity, reducing taxes and eliminat
ing discrimination.
“I heard and understood the peo
ple’s message to keep the republic
alive and the fact that the people
wanted a change in politics,”
Chirac told supporters of his Rally
for the Republic party gathered at
his campaign headquarters in
Paris. “I feel in charge of all of that
now that I've been elected.”
Le Pen, who had threatened
last week to demand a recount if
he received less than 30 percent
of the vote, went before television
cameras last night and accused
Chirac of using “Russian meth
ods” to win. He issued another
challenge to Chirac.
“He got his victory as in a Russ
ian vote, where people are made to
vote,” said Le Pen, who at age 73 is
unofficially considered ineligible
to run again. “I'm ready to wait for
him at the legislative elections”
next month.
The parliamentary vote deter
mines the prime minister and the
shape of government, and this
year it will decide whether Chirac
gets a center-right majority or the
left rebounds and retains control
of the government.
