France’s presidential elections: All you need to know

Next month, about 48 million eligible French voters will be asked to choose who will govern the nation for the next five years.

Never before in the history of the Fifth Republic – founded by Charles de Gaulle in 1958 – a presidential election has been held in such a dramatic and volatile context, Qazet.az reports.
