I just did a google search, & got 286,000 hits for "france right wing Government"
CNN was one of the top hits, & it was a story from June 2002 when France last had elections & "France's coalition of rightist parties [were] set to be confirmed as the overwhelming election victor, giving a clear mandate to conservative President Jacques Chirac." Now, Jean-Marie Le Pen is extremely right-wing, but that doesn't make Chirac a 'lefty'.
Now, a simular feat of finding supporting evidence simply by replacing 'France' with 'Germany' was unsuccessful insofar as the first few hits were not pertinent to this topic, & as it's almost 4:30 am, my time, I'm not in a mood to pursue it any further.
However, looking back on your question, I see now that you asked for 'Germany
or France', therefore I don't feel as guilty now for being so half-arsed.
