"THREE IN A MARRIAGE" WITH FRENCH PRESIDENTS !!!

The French are avid and discerning readers of any scandle concerning their President or even their Ministers. During the last 30 years they have been amply served even if some "situations" have remained absolutely secret !!!

François Mitterand, who was elected to be the President in 1981, only revealed the existence of a "love child", Mazarine Pingeot aged 19, towards the end of his second term of office, and in fact shortly before his death in 1996      !!!  This was a complete surprise for the French public who also discovered they had in fact borne the cost of Mitterand's second family !!!

President Sarkozy was more correct.  He married three times, the last time shortly after his election as President, but he suffered when his second wife "played away" !!!

We now have the latest of a series of scandals concerning President Holland, who was elected on May 6, 2012 !!!  

In fact, President Hollande has never been married !!! But scandals there are none the less !!!  His first "companion" was Segolene Royale with whom he had four children.  Their "partnership of more than 20 years" fell apart when apparantly she discovered he was flirting with another woman. She sent him packing shortly after she lost the Presidential election against Sarkozy !!!

Everything was quite quiet until the election of President Hollande.  Then France became aware of the presence of Mme Trierweiler, a woman who has been divorced twice !!!  She was the new "companion" of the new President, who has never been married !!!

The big question which was raised is "what is her place in official ceremonies ?"  Is she the First Lady ?  There has not been a clear answer.  In fact one could also ask whether she will be the "last companion" !!!

There is a jealous "fight" between Valerie Trierweiler and Segolene Royale.  This became clear when Segolene was standing for election this year to the National Assembly with the sole aim of becoming (with the benediction of François Hollande) the next Speaker in the National Assembly.

Valerie sent a "tweet" of encouragement to a Socialist candidate who decided to stand against Segolene.  This hit the Headlines, Segolene was beaten and François was left to calm what he termed was a private "family affair" !!!

This week, both companions were in New York.  François was at the United Nations meeting, Segolene was at the meeting of World-Wide Socialists (as Vice President) and Valerie was there on a shopping trip !!!  However, on television we saw an embarrassed François  who had seen Segolene on his path ahead, suddenly change track with all his entourage to avoid meeting her !!!  The French Press missed nothing !!!

Does every young man not quickly realize that meeting an old girlfriend or flame could lead to trouble !!!
