[HIGHLIGHTS] The 1958 Constitution breaks the record for constitutional longevity of the Third Republic

Until Monday February 19, 2024, the Constitution of the Third Republic was the longest in the History of France. That of the Fifth Republic has now surpassed it.

Comparison is not always right. The Constitution of 2024 no longer has much to do with that of 1958, says Marcel Morabito, professor of constitutional law at Sciences Po. The Fifth survived the political and then physical disappearance of General de Gaulle, underlines Olivier Dard. We will have to wait a little longer to surpass it: see you on August 4, 2028!
