François Hollande's family continues to wash its dirty linen in public Jul 12th 2012, 09:01 What a mess! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...ie-trierweiler Quote: François Hollande's eldest son has publicly attacked the country's "first lady", accusing her of destroying the president's election-winning "normal image". Thomas Hollande says he and his brothers and sisters have made it clear they no longer want to see their father's partner, Valérie Trierweiler, after she helped destroy their mother's political hopes with a jealous tweet. Trierweiler, 47, used Twitter to express her support for the rival of Hollande's former partner Ségolène Royal days before France's legislative elections last month. Royal, 58, went on to lose her parliamentary seat and her ambition to become the speaker of France's Assemblée Nationale vanished with it... ...Never far from Hollande's side during the long election campaign, Trierweiler's absence has been conspicuous since the offending tweet. On Monday Hollande travelled to London to meet David Cameron and the Queen without his partner. French commentators also pointed out that she had not accompanied the French leader to the G20 summit in Mexico. She is expected to be at Hollande's side during the official Bastille Day parade on Saturday on the Champs Elysées. I wonder if Trierweiler is regretting her tweet.
