VOICED : President Hollande mulls reshuffle after local election losses

In recent local elections in France, voters expressed dissatisfaction with President Orland's government, leading to a significant political shift from left to right. The opposition UNP party benefited from this shift, while the far-right National Front achieved its best results, taking control of 11 towns. Public trust in the major parties, the Socialists and UMP, has waned, leading to increased support for the National Front. Despite this, the Socialists managed to retain control of key cities, including Paris, where Anne Hidalgo is set to become the first female mayor. President Orland is expected to respond to the political climate with a cabinet reshuffle.
