MOSCOW, September 28 – RIA Novosti. The Old World is plunging into a deep crisis amid a changing geopolitical situation, said former French President Francois Hollande.

“Europe is facing an existential crisis and the French vote will be decisive not only for my country, but also for European construction and the world balance,” he said in an interview with El País.

According to him, the modern world has become more dangerous, and the continent is now the focus of attention of powers such as Russia, the USA and China. The ex-president also noted that Europe is “not the same anymore.”

Presidential elections in France will take place on April 18, 2027. The second round, if necessary, is scheduled for May 2. The current head of state, Emmanuel Macron, will not be able to nominate himself for them, since, according to the constitution, he cannot hold office for three consecutive terms.
