It was a spectacle unseen in previous French presidential races. Lively exchanges but no knockout punches in a five-way candidates’ debate. The over three hour long event served up five different visions of France, but did it set the tone for the homestretch of this campaign. What are the issues that will decide an election that the whole world is watching?
Mind the gap in the French presidential race which is tightening. Not enough, argues Socialist Olivier Ferrand for whom Nicolas Sarkozy has tacked too far right to win. The UMP’s Arnaud Danjean – in a dig at François Hollande – answers you can be pro-Europe and still address the fears of ordinary citizens.
His presidential ambitions long dashed, Dominique Strauss-Kahn now finds himself linked to a prostitution ring in northern France. François Picard’s panel weighs up the relative impact on French politics and society.
After the Toulouse school shooting, almost all the major candidates for French presidency have suspended their campaigns. François Picard's panel wonders whether the tragedy will soften the rhetoric of a race that, for many, has taken a divisive tone.
The one and only second round debate in France’s election features independent centrist frontrunner Emmanuel Macron and the far-right's Marine Le Pen. What are the issues that can convince undecided voters? What are the pitfalls the candidates have to avoid?
