Jacques René Chirac was a French politician who served as the 22nd President of France from 1995 to 2007. Because of this, he only appears in Series 18 (1996).
Chirac was depicted as being overly obsessed and callous with nuclear weapons to the point of being sexually aroused by them going off.

Chirac's agents give him a new nuclear button which he attempts to resisting pressing at first, but his agents' egging on causes him to repeatedly press the button and therefore set off nuclear weapons (as signified by a flash), arousing him.
Episode 4[]
Through negotiations with Greenpeace, Chirac agrees to stop nuclear testing, only to pull out a nuke from under his desk as he announces the use of nuclear weapons for real as he blows himself and everyone around him up with it.
He is one of the invited world leaders touring Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth II as their guide.
