[Webinar] France under pressure: What to expect from the French presidential election

Join the e-briefing with our Diplo Fellow Richard Werly live from the presidential campaign in Paris, where we will try to answer the following questions:

• Can Sarkozy be beaten and why?

• What have been the surprises of the presidential campaign so far?

• What can we expect on the international scene from his main contenders, from socialist

• Francois Hollande to extreme right Marine Le Pen?

• Beyond the presidential election, can France, a country ridden by debt and public deficit, manage to avoid being pressured by the financial markets?

• Is the Franco-German partnership within the EU real?

• Is France a weakened country, with less and less effective diplomatic power?
