France's center-right political coalition, which has held power for the last 20 years, won a decisive majority in the second round of national elections yesterday, staving off a strong challenge from the Socialist-Communist alliance.

Communist leader Georges Marchais conceded defeat after the elections for the National Assembly, saying, "The majority will remain in power, but it is a shrunken majority that is weakening."
