PARIS, June 18, SPA -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy won a solid parliamentary majority for political and economic reforms on Monday but voters soured the right's celebrations by not giving a forecast landslide and rejecting a top minister, Reuters reported. Final official results gave 52-year-old Sarkozy a power base of 345 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly, well below the crushing 470-seat majority predicted in some pre-poll estimates. Votes appeared to have been lost over a sales tax rise.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/459786
