Economic History | France | Both President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Lionel Jospin are strong advocates of European Union as a way to strengthen France both politically and economically. (references) |
France | The Left, however--led by Socialist Party leader Lionel Jospin, whom Chirac defeated in the 1995 presidential race--unexpectedly won a solid National Assembly majority (319 seats, with 289 required for an absolute majority) in the two rounds of balloting, which took place May 25 and June 1,1997. President Chirac named Jospin prime minister on June 2, and Jospin went on to form a government composed primarily of Socialist ministers, along with some ministers from allied parties of the Left, such as the Communist and the Greens. (references) | |
Human Rights | France | He is presumed to have fled to Mauritania in 2000. In July 2000, Prime Minister Lionel Jospin and Corsican officials signed the Matignon Agreement that gives Corsica greater autonomy; in December the law on Corsica was approved by Parliament. (references) |
Political Economy | France | Currently, center-right President Jacques Chirac "cohabits" with a government of the center-left that was elected in June 1997. The Socialist-led coalition includes representatives of the Communist and Green parties and is headed by Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, who ran unsuccessfully against Jacques Chirac in the 1995 presidential elections.
