France: The Night After the Election

Yesterday around 53 per cent of the voters elected Sarkozy as the next president of the republic. But it seems that - surprise, surprise (^^) - not everyone was/is happy with the result..
Like in Paris, where thousands of mainly young people took the streets, also in other French cities such as Lyon, Tolouse, Marseille etc.  large untits of the riot cops were contfronted with angry protestors.
