THE PHYSICAL EVOLUTION OF RACHIDA DATI IN IMAGES

Manuel Valls returns to government. This Monday, December 23, a few hours before Christmashe was appointed Minister of State for Overseas Territoriesby the new Prime Minister, François Bayrou. A surprise appointment which is causing debate in the French political class and among the French. Thus, the first rumors of upcoming censorship have already been launched. On BFMTVOlivier Faure, first secretary of the PS, declared that“none of the conditions were respected” for a non-censorship pact. Also adding that this new government was a “provocation”. Even the right does not seem convinced, like Laurent Wauquiez, who judges François Bayrou's methods “not respectful”. The end-of-year celebrations could allow a small truce in French political wars. Before starting again in January?

Who is Anne Gravoin, the ex-wife of Manuel Valls?

This appointment of Manuel Valls is also an opportunity to look back on the private life of the politician born in Barcelona. Today he is married to Susana Gallardo Torredediaa wealthy Spanish businesswoman, who divorced the 26th fortune of Spain in 2016. She made her fortune in particular thanks to the company Amirall, a publicly traded pharmaceutical company which was created by her grandfather. The one who also works in the banking and finance sector got married to Manuel Valls in September 2019 and they both seem to have happy daysas evidenced by several photographs of them taken during various events.

Previously, Manuel Valls, who was mayor of Évry, regional councilor, Minister of the Interior, deputy and above all Prime Minister from 2014 to 2016 under François Hollande, has already been married twice. The first time with a certain Nathalie Soulié, a teacher with whom he had four children, until their divorce in the 2000s. Subsequently, the politician dated Anne Gravoin. But who is the latter? She is quite simply a recognized musician, and more particularly a talented violinist. Of Moldovan origin, she was born in 1965 in Montauban. His father was a violinist who had the chance to work at the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra. The one who worked with Johnny Hallyday, François Hardy, Véronique Sanson and even Laurent Voulzy had a first child, a daughter, in 1992, with the photographer Jacques Beneich.

Confidences about their breakup

She then met Manuel Valls, with a marriage in the summer of 2010. What happened next? Some public appearances with the politician, notably during an official visit to Africa in October 2016, then during a few campaign trips, when her husband was a candidate in the 2017 citizen primary. Anne Gravoin was also part of the team of musicians from the show “Chabad”presented by Daniela Lumbroso, whose husband was a friend of Manuel Valls. Unfortunately, the union of Anne Gravoin and Manuel Valls will end in 2018, after twelve years of living together. Later, at Gala, she will return to this relationship. “I tell myself that an extraordinary adventure has happened to me, which will not leave me only very good memories“, she declared, visibly not resentful.

Rather discreet about his private life, Manuel Valls also spoke about this subject in his book “Not a drop of French blood”. By way of explanation, he wrote: “I'm telling you this in a modest way. When you're in politics, with your nose to the grindstone, you don't pay enough attention to others. But when the chemistry of a couple is broken…”. Subsequently, and before meeting Susana Gallardo Torrededia, Manuel Valls attended Macronist MP Olivia Grégoire.
