Segolene Royal : "I have asked Francois Hollande to leave our home"

[Theobald]

Discussion on Monday is likely to focus on a surprise announcement by Ms Royal that she is splitting from her partner, the Socialists' leader, Francois Hollande.

(...)


The defeated presidential candidate said in a book to be published this week that her partner was having an affair.

"I have asked Francois Hollande to leave our home, to pursue his love interest which is now laid out in books and newspapers and I wish him happiness," she said in an interview ahead of the book's release on Wednesday.

(...)

The couple have been together for more than 25 years and have four children.

Ms Royal has said she will challenge Mr Hollande for the party's leadership.

It looks like the socialist lot is more susceptible to soap operas.

Remember Greece being the laughing stock of Europe for years, when the 80-year old Prime Minister Papandreou had divorced the first lady in order to marry the young curvaceous air hostess

Not electing Segolene Royale for the presidency, France has lost the chance to have a comedy show everyday on the news.

Mr. Bean has lost audience to Zapatero since he was elected.

The only caveat is that having a clown for a president has a high price for a country.

No wonder Segolene got a beating from UglyNose, she is more apt for soap than for serious politics. Any brained corsican left for reviving french fortunes?

These are the caricatures of democratic marionettes. That a puffed up puppet like Segolene could ever be considered as a presidential candidate speaks volume for the class and merit of the nation that postulates her as a candidate.The problem is not with the Segolene's, but the degraded and ossified system that spawns them and spews them forth on an assembly line.

No that our current Presidential couple (for photograhies) has any lesson to learn from the left one:



The tittle reads: "Along with Richard [Attias] she's spent the summer between NY and Paris. The time of reflexion."

After she came back, she (would have) had another affair with Marc Lévy this time, a modern author.

Well, Sarkozy had an affair as well when Cecilia left - with Anne Fulda, journalist for Le Figaro.
