(Bloomberg) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy may be gaining the upper hand in his confrontation with striking transit workers -- a fight he can ill afford to lose. More employees reported to work on the walkout's third day today and train and bus service increased, though the strike over Sarkozy's proposal to rein in pension benefits may stretch into next week. The president is staking much of his economic agenda on the battle, which he says is essential to his plans for increasing France's competitiveness.
Sarkozy is trying to save France from socialism. Once democracy evolves into socialism it is difficult to go back because citizens do not want to give up their accrued rights.
We want more and more. The politicians give us more and more. And we lose our freedoms as socialism displaces democracy.
