Very present in the media since his return as a deputy to the National Assembly, François Hollande would not have given up on his dreams of returning to the Élysée. And some mention the ambition of the former French president to run again in 2027.
An objective that Jean-Luc Mélenchon, his rival on the left, does not view favorably. Although he played the game of uniting the left within the New Popular Front, Hollande never hid his grievances against LFI and its leader. Opposition within the French left reached its peak with the refusal of a large majority of socialists to vote for censure against the Bayrou government on Thursday.
A choice which led Mélenchon to draw the sulphate against the former head of state. “François Hollande is a deception machine,” he said during the show “Le Grand Jury,” broadcast on radio and television on Sunday.
A punchline that did not escape Ségolène Royal, in great form. “That’s not false. It’s the good joke of the day,” she joked about X with a smiley face. Considering the history between the two, the comment sparked amusement on the social network.
-The two politicians spent nearly thirty years together. The couple had four children, but the story ended during the 2007 presidential election, during which the socialist reached the second round. Rumors of infidelity then began to spread.
During the presidential mandate of François Hollande, the scooter episode hit the headlines, the head of state having been seen going to his mistress, Julie Gayet, in 2014. His companion Valérie Trierweiler had burst his anger. She was even hospitalized before publishing a book a few months later in the form of settling scores: “Thank you for this moment”. François Hollande has since married Julie Gayet.
