Twenty-one year old Maxim Verner, who is of Armenian origin, shocked the French after he announced that he would be running in the 2012 French presidential elections.
The 21-year old man has already released his pre-electoral platform called "Youth of All Ages: Join Us, 89 Proposals for 2012".
Verner wants to ensure youth employment and support all youth around the world. The young presidential hopeful also proposes to eliminate driver's permit fees.
Maxim's father is Armenian, his mother is French and he works as a taxi driver.
