France after elections shadows of far right gains
France is post election where the National Front trails the Communists in vote share, with 9.8 percent surfacing for the National Front and a historic low for the Communist tally. Counting by department slows as seats are allocated. Former Premier Raymond Barre criticizes the new parliamentary majority while Laurent Fabius calls the results a legitimate concern for democrats. Jean Marie Le Pen says the party achieved its main goal of defeating the Communist Party as early projections show the Front ahead of the Communists in vote percentage.
