1981 and 1988 tried Chirac unsuccessfully as a presidency candidate, before he itself with thatPresidency election 1995 against its two main competitors Lionel Jospin and Édouard Balladur to intersperse could.

Briefly after its assumption of office its decision provided to take up the disputed French atomic tests on Mururoa after a three-year moratorium again for violent international protests.

1997 dissolved Chirac the parliament, since it hoped to provide during disputed economic reforms a stable conservative majority with the then due new elections. This action went however to the rear loosely: Jospin becamePrime ministers and Chirac had the next five years in a new Cohabitation to spend, this mark as a president.

Chirac threatened the terrorism supporting states with atomic impacts, should attack this France. Without addressing Iran directly, he did not announce retaliation to leaders of “such states on the Ile Longue (Brittany) „in „conventional “way.Expressly Chirac alluded however to „the temptation of certain states “, „under break of the contracts with nuclear weapons to equip itself “. It remained to a large extent unconsidered that Chirac in the same speech also the use from nuclear weapons to the safety device of “vital interests” including the “strategic supply”France expressly justified, i.e. atomic attacks themselves to the safety device of the supply of raw materials reserved itself. Again to it were however neither the reservation nor the terminology; again those was calculating on the date - and the obvious addressees - set mode of expression. Neverthelessthe letting in encountered Chiracs straight also in Germany partial sharp criticism. Among other things he was accused the offence against international law.
