France: President’s Partner Cancels Plans to Host TV Program
|
Version 0 of 1. Valérie Trierweiler, the partner of President François Hollande of France, said that she would drop plans to host a television program but would continue to work as a journalist covering cultural issues at Paris Match magazine so that she could pay for her children’s needs without depending on anyone. Ms. Trierweiler, in an interview published on Wednesday, also said that she had made a mistake when she used Twitter to support a political opponent of Mr. Hollande’s former partner, Ségolène Royal, deeply embarrassing the new president. “It was a mistake that I regret,” Ms. Trierweiler said. “I was clumsy, since this was badly interpreted. I had not yet realized that I was no longer just a simple citizen. It won’t happen again.” |
