EXCLUDED. Olivier Véran: this extremely rare confidence on his separation from Coralie Dubost

The one who came to the fore at the same time as the Covid-19 pandemic is now more discreet, but Olivier Veran remains a man of the government. After having been Minister Delegate in charge of Relations with Parliament between May and July 2022 in the government of Elisabeth Borne, the doctor moved to the post of Minister Delegate in charge of Democratic Renewal and government spokesperson. It is as such that he confided in Closer, without neglecting a few anecdotes about his private life, including a rather rare one on his love life. Olivier Véran was married to Camille Lesne from 2008 to 2018, and it is with the latter that he had two children. After his separation, he was in a relationship with Coralie Dubost.

The young woman member of La République en Marche was at the time a deputy for Hérault. The fact that two politicians are in a relationship had then caused a lot of ink to flow, yet Olivier Véran remained discreet about it. During his interview with Closer, he still answered the question of whether, like a lot of couples and marriages, it was the confinement that got the better of his relationship with Coralie Dubost. But the answer is negativeand the former health minister added that “it was independent“of the confinement, which nevertheless put the nerves of all those concerned to the test. If the confinement did not break his couple, Olivier Véran nevertheless experienced it in a particularly intense way since he was one of the decision-makers who , for several months, guided France through the pandemic.

Olivier Véran: “I felt this collective fear before anyone else”

Difficult decisions, in particular that of the first confinement that he was able to announce to his family, and in particular his children, by telephone just before Emmanuel Macron’s speech. “I felt this collective fear before anyone else. I knew then that this pandemic was going to do considerable human damage, that children would be deprived of school and that parents would have to manage them as they could. I felt helpless on the phone because I couldn’t hug my kids.”. Of the difficult momentswho contributed to the almost burnout of Olivier Véran, who recently settled accounts with another figure in the pandemic who has caused a lot of ink to flow, but for more problematic reasons this time: Professor Raoult.
