Le Pen calls Sarkozy 'opportunist'

April 18, 2007

The first round of French voting for president is April 22, with the second round run-off May 6. Opinion polls say former interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist Segolene Royal are currently running neck-and-neck. But far right conservative Jean-Marie Le Pen isn't being ruled out. Although polls show him currently in last place behind centrist Francois Bayrou, he is being considered a dark horse in what is a hotly contest presidential election.
