    Only thing of note on Wiki France for Mai 1980 is 'grève étudiante dominée par l'extrême-gauche'. (Student strike dominated by the extreme left.) See below. There wasn't a change of Government system, or even of President as Giscard d'Estaing was in office until 1981. France was already in the Eurpoean Community, and was definitely a republic and a democracy, having been both from the end of the war.

    Only other thing of interest mentioned for 1980 is 'indépendance du Vanuatu'.
    The student strike was 'contre les lois Bonnet-Stoléru (et plus particulièrement contre le décret Imbert) visant à restreindre l’immigration' -against laws seeking to limit immigration. http://sebastien.schifres.free.fr/archipel.htm
