Hollande is promising to cut 50 billion euros in public spending over 2015-2017 to try to improve the indebted economy. Hollande, a Socialist, came to office in 2012 on pledges to avoid the painful austerity measures carried out by neighboring Spain and Italy. But France's economy has suffered two recessions in recent years and growth is forecast at an anemic 0.2 percent in 2013. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena)
