		Mitterrand came to power in 1981, promising openness about his health, but suppressed any mention of the cancer he struggled with through much of his term in office.

	French Social Democracy and the EMU
		Mitterrand, far in the lead as présidentiable at this point, structured the party so that it would be a congeries of feuding courants which he could divide and remix to maintain his own position.
		Delors had to cultivate Mitterrand, of course, but it was also in his interest to be independent of him, and we know from Delors' repeated success at persuading the European Council to embark on particular courses that he was quite capable of doing both with great skill.
		Mitterrand judged that it was necessary to make the most severe policy changes in 1983-84 in order then to limit the electoral damages in the 1986 elections, which the Socialists would almost certainly lose (they did).

		Mitterrand's budget also nearly doubled expenditures on the arts-a largesse unmatched in modern times-on the theory that a cultural awakening must accompany economic recovery if France was to realize the New Renaissance he envisioned.
		Mitterrand had also been impressed by Pei's proposal for an office complex that would have brought order to a Manhattan-like mess of high-rises in the fringe neighborhood of La Defense at the Western end of the five-mile Louvre-Etoile axis.
		Mitterrand's inclination to hire Pei was seconded by Emile Biasini, a seasoned civil servant and former minister of culture whom Mitterrand had appointed head of a public agency to oversee the Louvre renovation.

		"Mitterrand was the last president in France to truly embody the nation, because after him, globalisation meant it was no longer possible for one person to be the incarnation of a country in the same way.
		Yet not all those who were close to Mr Mitterrand agree with the story as portrayed in the film, among them Jack Lang, Mr Mitterrand's faithful ally and minister of culture for 10 of the president's 14 years in power.
		At the heart of the film is the question of Mr Mitterrand's wartime record, his degree of involvement with the collaborationist Vichy government, and his time in the French resistance.

		It claims that when Ms Pingeot fell pregnant by Mitterrand she was packed off to London to avoid a scandal, and returned to give birth in secret.
		Extracts from the book, published in L'Express magazine, describe how Mitterrand, then 45, and Ms Pingeot - "a brunette with a wasp-like waist" - met after he was introduced to her father in 1961 - 20 years before he became president.
		After Mitterrand was elected in 1981, security chiefs were ordered to protect Ms Pingeot and Mazarine with "the greatest discretion".

		Mitterrand called legislative elections soon after his victory, and a new left-wing majority in the National Assembly enabled him to effect the reforms he had promised.
		In 1986 the parties of the right won a majority of seats in the National Assembly, and so Mitterrand had to ask one of the leaders of the right-wing majority, Jacques Chirac, to be his prime minister (20 Mar 1986 - 10 May 1988).
		Mitterrand was thus a leading proponent of the Treaty on European Union (1991), which provided for a centralized European banking system, a common currency, and a unified foreign policy.

		Although the name Mitterrand doesn't figure in the film (or in the original French title), there is no doubt whom we are talking about.
		Mitterrand's widow Danielle and various personalities including former minister for culture Jack Lang tried to stop the film from being made because of the potential damage to its subject's reputation.
		Yet Mitterrand's view that he is "the last of the great presidents", the last representative of the nation before its engulfment by Europe and globalisation, resonates today.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Interviews \| Georges-Marc Benamou: Le Président et moi
		The crafty, image-obsessed Chirac is indeed a world away from the socialist Mitterrand, who dominated French politics from the era of Reagan and Thatcher in 1981 to the era of war in Bosnia and French atomic testing in 1995.
		Mitterrand's daughter, Mazarine, recently published her second and Benamou has published no fewer than three, including one - Jeune Homme, Vous ne Savez pas de Quoi Vous Parlez - which deals exclusively with what Mitterrand did or didn't do in Vichy before joining the Resistance in 1943.
		It is strange, I say, that Mitterrand should have chosen as his chronicler an Algerian-born Sephardic Jew, given both the troubled history between Algeria and France, and the politician's scathing references to 'le lobby juif' for what he saw as some French Jews' relentless focus on his wartime record.
