Languedoc Roussillon Goes Left 30th March 2004
Jacques Blanc, ex Secretary of State for Agriculture under Valery d'Estang, shared the fate of his mentor and was voted out after 18 years of running the Languedoc Roussillon Region. Blanc's list, Union pour Languedoc Roussillon, crashed to 33.1% of the vote in the second round in the Languedoc after he failed to win the support of the Languedoc hunters, CPTN, and the centrist UDF.
George Freche, the long time mayor of Montpellier, with his Union Toute! list of Socialists, Communists and Greens rose to a surprising 51.7% on an increased turn out throughout the Languedoc.
The Front National, headed in the Languedoc by LePen's old school friend Alain Jamet, scored 15.72%, a much reduced score from April 2002 Presidentials.
In a system that favours the winning list Freche now heads a left wing team of 43, Blanc a rump of 16 and Jamet a mere 8. Read More

Languedoc-The poorest and most sought after Region in France 8th February 2004
The projections are dramatic, by 2015 between 170,000 and 310,000 people will migrate to Languedoc-Roussillon looking for a warmer climate and a better quality of life. The question is will they find it?
Recently Air Litoral and Dell in the Herault, Saligne and Formica in the Aude, and Perrier and Well in the Gard have all laid off staff or announced they will in the near future. Irrifrance and Compangnie du Bas-Rhone Languedoc are in grave financial difficulties as are Tuvodoc in the high Herault and Cogema in the Lodeve. In fact there are now only 8 private companies with more than 500 employees in the whole region. While Languedoc has the best start-up rate of new businesses in the country we are at the bottom of the table for their survival, only 41% last more than 5 years.
