Abstract

The next presidential elections in France are in 2012. Already, there are plenty of articles, passages, and observations in France that analyze policies. One wonders: who will present? Will Sarkozy stay in power? Will there be a very strong competition? What will determine the winner? For the moment, we do not have answers to these questions. But having examined the atmosphere of contemporary politics in France, one can begin to guess which ones will be the main themes of the debate as well as, for several parties, the plausible candidates and the groups that will support them. But out of these omens, we must know that the thing that characterizes policies, particularly in France: there are always surprises.
