France, Macron: ‘Jospin embodied the Republic’s highest ideals’

Turin, 23 March (LaPresse) – “Lionel Jospin is a leading figure in French history: First Secretary of the Socialist Party under François Mitterrand, Minister for Education, Prime Minister, and member of the Constitutional Council. With his rigour, his courage and his ideal of progress, he embodied a lofty vision of the Republic.” So said President Emmanuel Macron on the passing of the former Socialist Prime Minister.
