, although the center right did gain a couple more regions than the left. however, there was very clearly a loser. and that was the national front. it was a reversal of fortunes for the far right leader marie le pen. hear national front watched as the first-round gains evaporated. for a moment the party looked well positioned to win several regions, in the final round french people decided otherwise. le pen tried to put a brave face on the outcome. >> now the separation is not between the right and the left, but the globalists and the patriots. the globalists fight for the solution of france and its people. the patriots believe the nation is the protector of the french, and that is each and every one of you. >> voter apathy worked in the national front's favour. the turn out was higher. with 60% taking part >>> before the elections, the socialist controlled almost every region in france. now it is more evenly divided between the republicans and the socialists. it's clear that the republicans, to an extent benefitted from tackle voting, because in two region
