Chirac was born in 1932 in Paris. He was the only child of his family made up of a successful executive of an [father] airline and a household.

In 1956 he married Bernadette Chodron de Courcel, with whom he has two daughters. He had worked for a long time as an assistant of Replications with the public and personal advisers.

His political career was started in 1962, when he was appointed as chief of the staff of famous French Prime Minister George Pompidu [Pompido Gardens]. This one referred to him as my “buldozer” because of his ability to perform the tasks he was assigned to.

Later, he had become minister from 1971 to 1974 and prime minister on two occasions, from 1974 to 1976 and from 1986 to 1988.

As president of France, he had received his mandate in 1995 to complete it in 2007.

Chirac had been charged in some cases of corruption during his term, but he was more familiar with the time he had been chairman of Paris. A controversial court ruling had saved him by guaranteeing immunity as president of France. He had refused to testify, saying it conflicted with his presidential functions. After the end of his term, he was convicted of his corrupt actions, writes Periscope.

In France, his time as president was marked with inaction and political stagnation, leaving France equally divided and in large debt.

 According to international journalists, Chirac had regularly been skeptical of NATO's military intervention in Kosovo to save the Albanian population. However, he had publicly denounced Slobodan Milosevic's regime for cruel crimes against Albanians.

In recent years he had suffered memory loss that was supposed to be linked to Alzheimer's disease. /Periscope
