Résumé
Languedoc-Roussillon is one of the French regions where the score of the extreme right wing is the highest. This tradition has continued for twenty years, a period marked by demographic turmoil. Behind the current political establishment, political forces vie for internal recomposition. The Left, winning in 1997 almost all of the deputy seats, is now on the way to moderation, thereby losing important electoral strongholds. The Right, employing a strategy of alliances with the extreme right wing, has re-conquered a majority of seats being supported by the birth of the UMP (Union pour un movement populaire [Union for a Popular Movement]). Nothing indicates that the power struggle resulting from the elections will last longer than the two previous ones, depicting the political Languedoc as white in 1993, & pink-red in 1997. 8 Tables, 11 References.
