North Sea Diaries - A weblog of European politics
In 2007, Jacques Chirac’s presidency will come to an end. At which point, his immunity to criminal prosecution will lapse, and he’ll be prosecuted for vote-rigging, inventing fictional jobs in the Paris city hall, accepting corrupt party finances, and a host of other unpleasant activities.
It would be nice if he could be made a Senator for life, thereby gaining the immunity for life which this office would give him, but unfortunately this isn’t allowed under France’s constitution.
Of course, one solution would be to run for the presidency again. But this doesn’t seem likely at the moment.
Another would be - you guessed it - to change the constitution.
