The 2012 French presidential election was the tenth election of the President of the French Republic . The first ballot took place on April 22, 2012; the runoff election took place on May 6, 2012 between Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande .

François Hollande ( Parti socialiste ) won the runoff election with just under 52 percent of the vote. He was elected for a five-year term.

Procedure

The French President is directly elected by the people. In the first ballot, a candidate is elected if he receives an absolute majority of the votes cast. If no candidate can achieve this - which has been the case in all presidential elections since 1965 - a run-off election takes place between the two candidates who received the most votes in the first ballot.

Every French citizen who had reached the age of 18 on election day and was entered on the election lists was entitled to vote. Anyone eligible to vote who had reached the age of 18 and had 500 supporter signatures from elected representatives was eligible.

In the French overseas territories , due to the time difference , the election began on April 21 and May 5, CET .

Candidates

By the beginning of 2012, around 20 candidates had announced their application for the presidency. On March 19, 2012, the Conseil constitutionnel (Constitutional Council) published the list of ten candidates who had met the requirements for admission. In non-alphabetical order these are:

• 

  Nicolas Sarkozy ,
  UMP ,
  conservative

The best-known applicant in German-speaking countries who failed because of the necessary supporter signatures was the former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin , who wanted to run for the République Solidaire party he founded . According to his own information, he was missing 30 of the 500 signatures.

Not all candidates are listed individually below, only those from the most important political parties (based on the results of the last presidential election, polls or representation in the National Assembly and Senate) as well as candidacies that have attracted great attention in German-speaking countries. The sorting follows the election result of 2007.

Union for a Popular Movement (UMP)

It was not until February 15, 2012 that the incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy officially announced that he would run again for the Union pour un mouvement populaire .

Sarkozy had originally announced that he wanted to decide on a new candidacy by “the end of summer 2011 or the beginning of autumn”. According to observers, by later announcing his candidacy, Sarkozy wanted to "act as a caring father of the country for as long as possible rather than as an election campaigner in the midst of the euro crisis ."

There was no challenger to Sarkozy within the UMP. However, two former UMP members, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and Dominique de Villepin , declared their candidacy for other parties, but de Villepin missed the necessary supporter signatures.

According to surveys, a clear majority of UMP sympathizers wanted Sarkozy to run again, while a clear majority of the French overall rejected this.

Sarkozy reached the second ballot with 27.18 percent of the vote; he was just behind his socialist challenger François Hollande. Compared to his candidacy in 2007, Sarkozy scored four percentage points less in the first ballot. In the second ballot, Sarkozy achieved 48.38 percent of the vote. He admitted his defeat shortly after the polling stations closed.

In the event that Sarkozy had decided not to run again, the incumbent Prime Minister François Fillon and the incumbent Foreign Minister and former Prime Minister Alain Juppé were considered possible candidates for the ruling party.

Parti Socialiste (PS)

For the largest opposition party , the Parti Socialiste , the former party leader François Hollande stood . He reached the second ballot as the leader with 28.6 percent of the vote. This was almost three percentage points more than the PS candidate Ségolène Royal had achieved in the 2007 election . Hollande won the second ballot with 51.62 percent of the vote.

The PS candidate was determined in open primary elections ( primaires citoyennes ), in which non-members could also participate, provided they were eligible to vote in the presidential election, committed themselves to “the values ​​of the left” and contributed at least one euro. The party had also invited other left-wing parties to nominate candidates for the primaries; only the Parti radical de gauche (PRG) accepted this invitation . The first ballot for the primary took place on October 9, 2011, the runoff between the two candidates with the most votes on October 16.

In the run-off election of the primary elections, Hollande prevailed with around 56 percent of the vote (first ballot: 39 percent) against the chairman of the Parti Socialiste, Martine Aubry (first ballot: 30 percent). In the first ballot, Ségolène Royal with 7 percent of the vote, the chairman of the PRG, Jean-Michel Baylet (1 percent) and the members of the French National Assembly Arnaud Montebourg (17 percent) and Manuel Valls (6 percent) were eliminated.

The PS primaries were heavily influenced by the events surrounding the IMF director general and former French finance and economics minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn . This was considered to be the PS's most promising candidate for the presidential election. After he was arrested in New York in mid-May 2011 on charges of rape , Strauss-Kahn announced that he was not standing.

Hollande made the election promise to reduce the proportion of French nuclear power from 75 percent today to 50 percent (see last section). Internationally, he was supported by the chairmen of other social democratic or socialist parties, such as the SPD chairman Sigmar Gabriel .

Mouvement démocrate (MoDem)

For the political center counting Democratic Movement candidate again François Bayrou . In the 2007 presidential election, he came third with 18.6 percent of the votes in the first ballot. According to surveys in September 2011, Bayrou did not seem to be able to repeat this success, but up to January 2012 he had increased significantly in the surveys and was only just behind Marine Le Pen in fourth place.

In the first ballot, Bayrou achieved 9.1 percent of the vote and thus only 5th place. He lost 9 percentage points compared to 2002. Shortly before the second ballot, on May 3, 2012, Bayrou declared that he would not give his supporters a recommendation, but would personally support Hollande be right. He justified his vote mainly with the rapprochement of Sarkozy to the extreme right after the first ballot.

Front National (FN)

The party leader Marine Le Pen applied for the right-wing extremist Front National . According to polls in summer 2011, it appeared possible that Le Pen could reach the runoff election. Her father Jean-Marie Le Pen already succeeded - surprisingly at the time - in the 2002 presidential election . In surveys in January 2012, however, she was well behind Hollande and Sarkozy in third place, which means she would not make it into the runoff election.

In the first ballot, Marine Le Pen received 17.9 percent of the vote, the best result of any FN presidential candidate. Nevertheless, she did not reach the runoff election. Le Pen made no express recommendation for the second ballot; she announced on May 1 that she would cast a blank ballot herself.

Front de gauche (FDG)

The Front de gauche is a left-wing electoral alliance around the Parti communiste français (PCF) and the Parti de gauche . Jean-Luc Mélenchon was elected as a candidate for the Front de gauche . For the first time since 1974, the PCF refrained from nominating its own candidate. Mélenchon was traded just under 10 percent in polls until a few weeks before the election and then increased to 12 to 15 percent. Among other things, he called for the minimum wage (see SMIC ) to be raised to 1,700 euros, higher taxation on high incomes and a constitutional reform ( Sixième République ) that would restrict the power of the president .

Mélenchon achieved 11.1 percent of the vote in the first ballot and thus place 4. On the evening of the election, he called on his voters to vote for Hollande in the second ballot.

Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV)

The French Greens determined their candidate in a primary. The MEP Eva Joly prevailed in the second ballot with 58.2 percent of the vote against the non-party Nicolas Hulot . In the first ballot she narrowly missed an absolute majority with 49.8 percent of the votes against three competitors. According to a poll in September 2011, Joly could expect a result of between 7 and 10 percent in the first round of the presidential election; in January 2012, she was forecasted between 2 and 4 percent. This would have increased the result only slightly compared to the 2007 presidential election , in which the green candidate Dominique Voynet only got 1.6 percent of the vote and came eighth.

In the first ballot, Joly achieved only marginal gains over Dominique Voynet 2007 with 2.3 percent of the vote. Shortly after the polling stations closed, she called for people to vote for Hollande in the second ballot.

Survey

Since the end of 2010, the polls for the French presidential election consistently predict a victory for a socialist candidate, regardless of the specific person. Only in the case of Ségolène Royal's candidacy did the survey institutes see a head-to-head race between her and Sarkozy and the possibility that instead of Royals Marine Le Pen from the Front National could get the runoff against Sarkozy. Conversely, a survey institute predicted at the beginning of October 2011 that if Sarkozy renounced a candidacy, the two most likely UMP candidates, François Fillon and Alain Juppé, would be tied with Marine Le Pen in second place behind Hollande, Le Pen so could reach the runoff in their place.

From the end of the socialist primary elections to the beginning of March 2012, polls for the first ballot consistently predicted a victory for François Hollande, which, however, would clearly miss an absolute majority. In second place was Nicolas Sarkozy, with more than five percentage points ahead of Marine Le Pen. A double-digit result seemed possible for François Bayrou and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, all other candidates were well below 10 percent of the votes. As of mid-March 2012, the survey institutes forecast a tight result between Hollande and Sarkozy, with the results fluctuating between 3 percentage points for Sarkozy and 3 percentage points for Hollande. Hollande's weakness was also due to the high level of support for the left-wing socialist candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon (Front de gauche), whose values ​​reached 14 to 15 percent in the polls at the end of March.

The actual election result of the first ballot largely corresponded to the polls; Marine Le Pen did a little better, Jean-Luc Mélenchon a little worse than forecast.

For the most likely duel in a runoff election since the end of the socialist primary elections, Nicolas Sarkozy versus François Hollande, a 60 percent win was forecast for Hollande at the beginning of October 2011. This value has been stable across various survey institutes since mid-May 2011. From around December 2011 the values ​​for Hollande fell to 54 percent (beginning of January 2012), but then rose again. From mid-January they fluctuated between 56 and 60 percent. In mid-March, Hollande's lead in the polls fell to around 10 percentage points, and in April both candidates continued to grow closer.

Polls on the day of the first ballot predicted that Hollande would have a lead of between 12 and 6 percentage points on Sarkozy in the second ballot. In the course of the election campaign, the values ​​of both candidates converged a little; shortly before the second ballot, Hollande's lead was between 5 and 7 percentage points.

Energy policy, nuclear phase-out

In an agreement in November 2011 , the French Socialists (PS) and the green party Europe Écologie-Les Verts (EELV) agreed to close 24 nuclear power plants by 2025 if they win the election. This is a third of the capacity. France's oldest, the Fessenheim nuclear power plant near the German border, is to be shut down immediately in the event of a left-wing election victory. PS presidential candidate François Hollande has made the election promise to reduce the proportion of French nuclear power from 75 percent today to 50 percent by 2025, which in terms of total volume would roughly correspond to the planned German nuclear phase-out . The Greens wanted to go further and aimed for a complete nuclear phase-out based on the German model. The Areva nuclear group , which manufactures MOX fuel elements worldwide and also operates the La Hague reprocessing plant , protested at PS against plans to discontinue these two activities in the future.

Social and domestic policy

Both main candidates, Sarkozy and Hollande, had the problem that they threatened to lose votes on the right and left sides. Nicolas Sarkozy had to fear losses of votes at the Front National under Marine Le Pen and therefore tried in the run-up to the election with clear, partly populist rhetoric, to attract sympathizers of the Front National into his camp. He spoke out in favor of facilitating the deportation of illegal immigrants, against local voting rights for non-EU foreigners, against same-sex marriage and adoption rights for homosexual couples, as well as for conservative values ​​such as family, work and authority. For this populism he was attacked accordingly by the parties of the left spectrum and Wallerand de Saint-Just, Vice-Head of the Front National, called Sarkozy's attempt to score points in the right-wing camp a “vulgar falsification” of issues that the FN represents more credibly. François Hollande, on the other hand, had to defend himself against the fact that the bustling Jean-Luc Mélenchon was rallying the dissatisfied left-wing voters with populist-left rhetoric. On March 18, 2012, Mélenchon spoke to an audience of more than 100,000 on the Place de la Bastille and railed against austerity measures, the financial sector in general and the profits of the rich. He called for the “civil uprising” that “all of Europe awaits from France, the motherland of the revolution”.

Economic and financial policy

In the months leading up to the election, the election campaign was under the influence of the rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgrading France's credit rating from AAA to AA + on January 14, 2012. François Hollande declared that President Sarkozy had lost the battle for the top AAA rating. The rating agency had not downgraded France, but rather the economic policy represented by Sarkozy. Eva Joly (Greens) and Marine Le Pen (FN) also rated the decision as Sarkozy's defeat. Prime Minister François Fillon and Finance Minister François Baroin (both UMP) refused to change the course in budgetary policy, for example through additional savings, in response to the downgrade. France's policy is not determined by rating agencies and the government is on track with its budgetary policy.

As the centerpiece of his election program, Hollande promised a major tax reform that would burden the higher earners more who had been relieved under Sarkozy. The resulting additional 29 billion euros in tax revenue should be spent on more social justice, greater investment in education and job creation. The regular retirement age should remain at 60 and not be increased. Until 2017 he promised a balanced budget in France. Hollande also spoke out in favor of renegotiating the European fiscal pact . His opponents accused him of being dubious. This program would drive France far into the red and into higher national debt. Sarkozy, on the other hand, called for a debt brake on public spending and a strict austerity course to reorganize public finances. At the beginning of his election campaign, Sarkozy cited Germany as a model several times, but was sharply attacked because of his “Germany obsession”. The left-front candidate Mélenchon publicly recommended that he run as a candidate in Germany, where he had good chances. There was also criticism from within our own ranks. After that, Sarkozy avoided direct reference to German conditions.

The campaigners' plans to reduce the French budget deficit were at the center of the first and only TV debate on May 2, 2012, which was followed by millions of French people.

First ballot

The result of the first round of voting largely corresponded to what the polling institutes had forecast in the weeks leading up to the election. As expected, François Hollande qualified as the winner and Nicolas Sarkozy as runner-up for the second ballot, with a gap of around 1.5 percentage points. The result of Marine Le Pen from the Front National, who achieved the best result for the FN so far in a first round of the presidential elections with a good 17 percent, was seen as a surprise. On the other hand, the left-wing candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon performed slightly weaker than last forecast with 11 percent. The high voter turnout of almost 80 percent, which was only higher in 2007, was considered a surprise. With regard to the regional majority, the first round of elections produced a picture similar to that seen in the previous elections. The social democratic candidate had his electoral focus primarily in the south-west of the country, partly also in the north, while the conservative candidate was particularly successful in the east of the country. Sarkozy tended to perform better in rural areas than in cities. In 36 of the 41 large cities with over 100,000 inhabitants, Hollande was in the lead, and Sarkozy received a relative majority of the votes in only 5 large cities ( Toulon , Nice , Aix-en-Provence , Lyon and Boulogne-Billancourt ).

Second ballot

In the second ballot, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande faced each other. While Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Eva Joly openly called on their voters to vote for Hollande, Marine Le Pen avoided making an explicit election recommendation for the voters of the Front National. According to a poll by OpinionWay , 37% of FN voters wanted to vote Nicolas Sarkozy and 18% François Hollande, while 45% were undecided. Sarkozy therefore tried to draw the voters of the FN into his camp by emphasizing topics such as patriotism, security and the limitation of immigration, for which he earned the applause of the right, but also criticism from his own ranks. Sarkozy's rapprochement with the extreme right was the reason for François Bayrou to announce his personal vote for Hollande shortly before the second ballot.

About a week before the runoff election, Sarkozy also had to defend himself against suspicions that the Libyan dictator Gaddafi , who was overthrown and killed in 2011, had supported his election campaign for the 2007 presidential election by secretly paying millions.

On May 2, 2012, a television duel between the two opponents, followed by around 18 million viewers, took place.

On the evening of May 6th, Nicolas Sarkozy declared his defeat: “France has a new president (...). François Hollande is President of the Republic and must be respected. "

Regionally, Hollande won especially in the southwest, in the middle of the country, in Brittany and in the greater Paris area. Sarkozy, on the other hand, was able to win mainly the east and south-east of France and the north. Even if Hollande achieved large majorities in some rural regions, his success was mainly driven by the cities: In the ten largest cities in France, Sarkozy only achieved a majority in Nice .
