Sarkozy holidays as fresh violence hits French cities

PARIS (AFP) - France's next president Nicolas Sarkozy holidayed Tuesday in Malta ahead of launching a radical reform programme, while back home cities across the country were hit by more violent "anti-Sarko" protests.

Sarkozy boarded a yacht in the Mediterranean island with his wife Cecilia and their 10-year-old son Louis on Monday at the start of a three-day break, far from the hectic post-election atmosphere in Paris.

The family arrived there on a private plane after the 52-year-old right-winger's election victory on Sunday. He won 53 percent of the votes to 47 percent for his Socialist rival Segolene Royal.

The guy has zero power, wait till he is in charge before you start blaming him for Frances problems.
