Mitterrand's final word before the vote
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TOMORROW, the Independent on Sunday publishes an interview with Francois Mitterrand, expected to be the French President's final word to the media before his nation votes on ratification of the Maastricht treaty in its 20 September referendum.
The questions were put to Mr Mitterrand as he went into hospital in Paris for a prostate operation, which was performed yesterday. The condition of the 75-year-old President was later described as satisfactory, but he will be in the Cochin hospital for a week, and thus out of circulation for the rest of the referendum campaign.
