Czech French community clearly for Sarkozy

According to the French embassy's website, French nationals registered on the voting lists in the Czech Republic clearly preferred Nicolas Sarkozy, France's new President-elect, to his rival Segolene Royal in Sunday's elections. Out of the 846 voters who cast their ballots in Prague on Sunday, Mr Sarkozy received 59.9 percent, compared to the 53.06 percent of the vote in France. In the first round of the presidential elections two weeks ago, French expats in the Czech Republic gave the fewest votes to Segolene Royal.
