"I would be very happy to get involved in Corrèze, in what form, honestly, I don't know yet", declared the president of the Fondation Chirac, aged 57.
Asked about the hypothesis of a candidacy on the occasion of the next departmental elections, Claude Chirac declared "to think about it": "I can not say neither yes, nor no, I think about it".
Jacques Chirac was for several decades the political face of this rural department, located on the fringes of the Massif Central.
