More than two-thirds of French people are against the country taking part in international military action in Syria, according to a newspaper poll published Saturday.

The survey for French daily Le Figaro showed the country's opposition to military action against the Damascus regime has increased markedly since the end of August.

Asked whether they would be in favour of French participation -- which President Francois Hollande strongly supports -- 68 percent of respondents said no.

More than two-thirds of French people are against the country taking part in international military action in Syria, according to a newspaper poll published Saturday.
The survey for French daily Le Figaro showed the country's opposition to military action against the Damascus regime has increased markedly since the end of August.
Asked whether they would be in favour of French participation -- which President Francois Hollande strongly supports -- 68 percent of respondents said no.
That was an increase of nine percentage points on a survey published on August 29.
The survey also showed that 64 percent oppose all international military action in Syria -- irrespective of French involvement -- compared with just 45 percent on August 29.
