Europe and the 2022 French presidential elections

When: Monday, April 11, 2022, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Where: 9 rue de Constantine 75007 Paris

The 2022 French presidential campaign is taking place in a context of high visibility for European affairs with the French presidency of the Council of the European Union and the war in Ukraine, while the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit are still unresolved issued.

These events raise key questions in respect to French campaigns, elections and policies: to what extent have these European challenges impacted the debates and results? Has Europe been a decisive factor in electoral choices? What are the main divides within the French electorate in respect to Europe and have they evolved? Is the “Euroclash” predicted by some happening? What do the results of the first round indicate for the European policy of France?
