PARIS (AP) — France’s President Francois Hollande may be facing a tough 2013, now that the opposition conservatives have ended a month of internal feuding and the Socialist leader struggles to solve the problems of Europe’s No. 2 economy.

Assailed by leftists who say he capitulated to a steel magnate instead of nationalizing a flailing factory, the Socialist leader is also watching as the rich and famous flee his government’s high taxes, and his efforts to boost competitiveness fail to halt rising unemployment.
