François Mitterrand
François Marie Adrien Maurice Mitterrand (26 October 19168 January 1996) was President of France, serving under that position from 1981 to 1995, the longest time in office in the history of France. As First Secretary of the Socialist Party, he was the first left-wing politician to assume the presidency under the Fifth Republic.

Subsequently he joined the Resistance, moved to the left, and held ministerial office several times under the Fourth Republic.

He was re-elected in 1988 and remained in office until 1995. Mitterrand ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
