Ségolène Royal has found a new media life alongside Cyril Hanouna. The former minister and presidential candidate has become a recurring feature on the TV star’s shows to provide her policy expertise. This is how she was present on the set of Bang with Baba this Thursday, May 23, 2024 on C8 to address the famous debate between Jordan Bardella and Gabriel Attal. At the end of her speech, she mentioned her former companion François Hollande, with whom she formed a power couple politics a few years ago.
Addressing the subject of her 2007 campaign, during which she lost in the second round to Nicolas Sarkozy, Ségolène Royal was questioned by Cyril Hanouna about François Hollande. Curious, he asks her if at that time they were both still in a relationship. “It depends what we mean by being together“, she begins by saying, with a smirk. Then she specifies that this type of marital situation would no longer be possible today, in the era of #MeToo: “You’re running a campaign, you’re raising four kids [chacun a pour père l’ancien président ; Thomas (1984), qui est avocat, Clémence (1986), spécialiste en hépato-gastro-entérologie à Paris, Julien (1987), cinéaste, et Flora (1992), psychologue] and in addition his spouse who is with another.”
Why didn’t Ségolène Royal end her relationship with François Hollande, when she discovered that he was seeing journalist Valérie Trierweiler? His answer is simple, it is “law of silence“which results from”psychological violence“. She specifies: “If I had spoken, if I had said the slightest thing, people would have said: ‘You see, she is unbalanced, she is not structured, she is fragile. So we shut our mouths. We continue to move forward. Oh yeah, it’s hard.“
