Lifting the veil on France's next President (IMHO): France: the politics of presidential candidate Jean-Pierre Chevènement By Marianne Arens and Françoise Thull 15 February 2002 The campaign for the forthcoming presidential election in France has been under way since the end of January. The first round of the election is to take place on April 21, followed by the second round on May 5. Several weeks later, in June, the members of the new parliament will be elected. The two main contenders are incumbent President Jacques Chirac (Gaullist, RPR) and Prime Minister Lionel Jospin (Socialist Party). While Chirac only this week officially declared his candidature, and Jospin apparently intends to wait until the last moment to launch the active phase of his campaign, a "third man" has been making a name for himself since September-Jean-Pierre Chevènement, Jospin's former minister for the interior. At the moment, surveys indicate that Chevènement has a popularity rating of 14 percent, putting him closely behind Jospin and Chirac. [snip] wsws.org
