| France's Hollande hits back at Sarkozy for "Stasi" attack | | | A row over judicial phone-tapping of Nicolas Sarkozy escalated on Friday as French President Francois Hollande denounced his predecessor's allegation that judges were acting like secret police from ex-communist East Germany. Sarkozy, expected to run for re-election in 2017, wrote in Le Figaro newspaper that judges who ordered the tapping of his phone as part of an investigation into alleged illegal campaign financing had "broken fundamental principles" of justice. That prompted a backlash from Hollande two days before the first round of local elections in which his Socialists risk heavy losses and Marine Le Pen's far-right National Front party is looking to make gains. "Any comparison with dictatorships is intolerable," Hollande told a late-night briefing of reporters at an EU summit. |

| Thailand in limbo after election annulled; economy suffering | |  By Amy Sawitta Lefevre BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's Constitutional Court on Friday annulled last month's general election, leaving the country in political limbo without a full government and further undermining a prime minister faced with impeachment over a failed rice subsidy scheme. Weakened by five months of unrest, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is expected to defend herself before an anti-corruption commission by March 31, and a decision to seek her impeachment could come soon after that, with the Senate expected to take up the matter quickly. As the crisis deepens, there is a growing risk that the "red shirt" supporters of Yingluk and her brother, ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra could confront their opponents in the streets, plunging Thailand into a fresh round of political violence. Confident that her Puea Thai Party would win, Yingluck had called an election on February 2 in a bid to defuse anti-government protests, and since then has headed a caretaker government with limited powers.
