French presidential election, 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (773 words)
The 2002 French presidential election consisted of a first round election on 21 April 2002, and a runoff election between the top two candidates (Jacques Chirac and Jean-Marie Le Pen) on 5 May 2002.
The first round of election came as a shock to many commentators, almost all of whom had expected the second ballot to be between Jacques Chirac and Lionel Jospin.
The election brought the two-round voting system into question as well as raising many concerns about apathy and the way in which the left had become so divided.
Jacques Chirac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4449 words)
In 1974 Chirac was appointed Minister of the Interior.
The French president, by a constitutional convention, only controls foreign and military policy— and even then, allocation of funding is under the control of Parliament and under the significant influence of the prime minister.
French voters turned down the proposed document by a wide margin, which was interpreted by some as a rebuke to Chirac and his government.
