Marie-George Buffet (President Welles)

Marie-George Buffet (born May 7, 1949) is a French left-wing politician, and current President of France. She is the leader of the left-wing Socialist Union Party, which was formed in 2001, uniting several former leftist parties in France, to form a competent rival to the governing National Front Party, led by Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Buffet beat out incumbent President Bruno Gollnisch on the May, 2012 elections, ending 20 years of far-right reign. She assumed office soon afterwards, and named Jean-Luc Mélenchon as his Prime Minister.
