By: Renaud Durand The 2017 French presidential election started today, Sunday, April 23 and continues on May 7th. It aims at electing the president of the French Republic for a five-year term, the eleventh presidential election of the Fifth Republic and, also the tenth in the direct universal suffrage.This election will indicate the successor of the president of the Republic taking out François Hollande for the benefit of 11 potential candidates.The candidates and campaigns are different in comparison to previous presidential election. In this election there is a degree of unpredictability and a lot of talk about a certain reorganization of the French political scene.This change is the fruit of the personal weakening of the former two leaders of the parties who were majority, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande with the political balance unflattering.Indeed, 89 % of the respondents think that the politicians do not worry enough about "what people like us think", and 70 % think that democracy does not work well.The various political campaigns have gained a lot of media attention. There has been heated debates on television and presumed favouritism, cheating and corruption among republicans François Fillon and Marine Le Pen, representative of National Front, the radical right.Polls show a certain fragility in voting intentions for candidates of the Socialist Party and the Republican Party, the two big parties of government. The people of France have embodied new currents such as the centrist representative, Emmanuel Macron, or the socialist, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.Many contrasting opinions such as: leaving the European Union, the lapse of nationality, universal income and more are subjects represented by the contrasting opinions of each candidate.People’s indecisions reflect this pluralistic France today, in its opinions, in its origins, which should meet and accept to establish a better prospect. If the victory of President Trump in the United States and that of Brexit in the United Kingdom were unexpected, then we must consider the complexity of the situation in France, and realize we might need to expect that something similar might happen in the French country.
