            French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin
            has admitted he had links with a
            Trotskyist group in the 1960s.

            Mr Jospin was replying to a
            question in the National Assembly,
            the lower house of parliament,
            during a session of questions to
            the government.

            "It is true that in the 1960s I took
            an interest in Trotskyist ideas, and
            I established relations with one of
            the groups of this political
            movement," he said.

            "It was a personal, intellectual and
            political journey of which I am not
            in the least ashamed."
