France: Socialist President Hollande 'Hates the Poor' Says Ex Valérie Trierweiler
IBT ^ | By Umberto Bacchi

Francois Hollande's former partner says that France's socialist president hates the poor, in her potentially explosive memoirs she penned after the collapse of their relationship earlier this year.

In Merci Pour Ce Moment ('Thank You For This Moment') Valérie Trierweiler claims that, in private, the leftist leader refers to the less wealthy with scorn, calling them "the toothless".

"He portrays himself as a man who does not like the rich. In reality, the president does not like the poor," Trierweiler wrote. "He, the man of the left, calls them 'the toothless', very proud of his humour."

In another passage leaked to French media ahead of the book' s publication, which is scheduled for tomorrow, the France's former first lady wrote that he expressed dislike for her working-class parents.

Certainly not taking up for him, but she really is a classless slob. First, she brazenly shacks up with him, has illegitimate children with him, and now she runs her mouth about him. Disgusting.

She’s not his former spouse, as they were just shacking up and never married.

But I agree with the points you have made.

I didn’t see the mention of her being his wife, but when they referenced her as First Lady, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Wrong! Heh heh heh...

Thanks for the note of agreement.

Yeah, they did call her “First Lady” when she was shacking up with the jerk. I’ll be there were a lot of citizens of France who called her a few other things, too.

It doesn’t sit well with me. I wouldn’t live with a woman prior to marriage.

This country need to get back to Judeo-Christian values, or we are finished.

Yes it does. It would be a lot better if people returned to church and instilled the morals found there into their children.

There has been a reaction from the Elysee. Apparently they are appalled at the revelations. His spokesperson has said Hollande’s raison d’etre (reason for being) has all his life been the poor. Hands up those who believe that!
