“Net win”
The line has little quick to welcome the second round. “The test was changed” welcomes the spokesman of the UMP, Sébastien Huyghe. “This is a great blue wave since it took over thirty departments. For our constituents, there is hope.

Mr Huyghe, this success validates the line “all right” followed by the party president. “This shows that the gathering strategy of Nicolas Sarkozy and his willingness to talk about topics of interest to the French, without taboos, was correct. “ Mr Darmanin puts stressing that this success provides nothing for 2017: ” We have not yet won the presidential election because only two voters voted and popular places, the FN made a big score so that electorate does not make us more confidence. It has yet to regain. “ Frédéric Péchenard, Director General of the UMP, ” even the lower range, hold 68 departments, was our top dream. This will be a great victory for the UMP and a net loss for the PS “ estimated that close to the former head of state, who sees this as ” a collective victory but the victory Nicolas Sarkozy and the UMP “
