New president of France

So Nicolas Sarkozy won the French presidential election, and there are reports of riots. What for? Do they really think there is a fundamental difference between "right-wing" and "left-wing" statism? Both want a big government to breathe down the Frenchman's neck. Both want to control the population, and the economy. None of them are followers of liberty.

There is something rotten in the state of France, Bastiat's home country.
