What is "centre-right" mean?

I saw this term in some political sentences:
- François Hollande, the Socialist candidate, won France's presidential election, beating Nicolas Sarkozy, the centre-right incumbent.
- ...particularly Silvio Berlusconi’s centre-right People of Freedom.

Is that means "at present" or "currently in charge" ??

Thanks in advance !

Hi, Are you familiar with the use of the terms 'right' and 'left' in politics? In very basic terms, right is conservative left is socialistic the centre is a bit of both. Centre-right refers to a political position that is in the centre, but a little bit to the right.
