Segolene Royal A Bit Authoritarian

"Royal, during a recent trip to China, seemed to compliment her hosts by saying, 'Sometimes the justice is swifter than in France.' The period between arrest and execution in China can sometimes be only weeks, and Royal was criticized by human rights advocates and her political foes as having been naïve."

"[Sarkozy] parted company with Royal, who has said that Iran must be denied access to a civilian nuclear program even though it enjoys that right as a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty."
