Another flop for French president François Hollande, who after the dizzying loss of consensus in the last period, has now also relinquished control of the Senate. In fact, yesterday's elections brought yet another blow to the left in France: the candidates to sit in the assembly were chosen by 87.500 regional and municipal councilors, and the centre-right once again won the round.
With 162 of the 348 seats in the upper house up for grabs, the centre-right of the UMP and the UD has regained control of the Senate, which is also being joined by the far-right of the Front National for the first time, winning two seats . "A historic victory", was the comment of Marine Le Pen, president of Fn.
