French President François Hollande has said he will not seek another term in next year’s election. Hollande is extremely unpopular in France. His approval ratings plummeted in part due to his aggressive backing of a deeply unpopular labor law reform, which sparked months of massive nationwide protests and strikes. On Thursday, Hollande, of the Socialist Party, said he would not compete in the upcoming elections because he didn’t want the only choice for voters to be between the conservative right and the far right.
