Summary/Abstract: The French presidential elections of 2012 brought a new political approach concerning the candidates speech, because Europe became one of the main electoral themes within a national election. In full European economic crisis, the French people seem more than ever interested about the future of European construction, and in this context, the presidential candidates had to tackle this topic of interest in their election campaign. Analyzing the speeches of the first three candidates among the French voters’ preferences, it can be concluded that the future of France in the European construction, as well as the very future of the United Europe are influenced by the results of this year’s presidential elections.
