The writing's on the wall for the election debate ahead

The French presidential elections are now less than a year away, and official campaigning will begin in earnest this autumn.

François Bayrou : claque de fin

Au terme d’une longue séance parlementaire, la gauche et l’extrême droite ont, sans surprise, renversé le gouvernement en votant contre la confiance au premier ministre.
