"As an opposition party, we will try to fight and use our positions for the benefits of the Greek people. We must all know that the austerity measures cannot go ahead because they lack the necessary legal basis."

“作为反对党，为了希腊人民的利益，我们利用自己的地位来表示反对。我们必须知道，因为他们缺乏必要的法律基础，紧缩政策就无法通过。”

The Socialist Party of the new French President Francois Hollande has won an absolute majority in parliament. The second and final round of elections on Sunday gave them far more than the 289 seats needed to control the national assembly. The Socialist Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the goal now was to shift Europe towards growth. From Paris, here's Christian Fraser.

法国新总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德的社会党在议会赢得绝对胜利。在周日的第二轮即最后一轮选举中，社会党获得的席位远远多于控制国民议会所需的289个。社会党总理让-马克·埃罗说，现在的目标是将欧洲转向增长。克里斯蒂安·弗雷泽在巴黎报道。

On a night of high drama in Europe, the French president, seen as the new champion of growth, was handed a resounding yes by the French public. It's the first time in over 30 years the Socialists have taken the lower house, and it underlines yet again that across Europe people are turning against austerity. With control of both the senate and the lower house, Francois Hollande now has a mandate to spend and raise taxes. Though the Socialists' absolute majority ensures he can at least he take the more difficult decisions of spending cuts without the support of the hard-left.
