Euro slides on French no vote

The euro continued its slide on Tuesday on the consequences of France’s rejection of the European Union constitution.

Villepin, a less-than-popular choice, is seen as against economic reform and has a reputation as being “confrontational”. In addition, he is an opponent of the Iraq war.
