Washington, D.C. – Today the Center for American Progress will host a press call at 1:30 p.m. ET, to feature former European Commissioner and President of Policy Network Lord Peter Mandelson and Terra Nova President and Socialist Party parliamentary candidate Olivier Ferrand to discuss the ramifications of the recent French presidential election, president-elect Francois Hollande’s politics, and what his pragmatic, pro-European growth agenda will actually look like in practice.
