Although he supports Anne Hidalgo in the race for the Elysée, François Hollande advised… Valérie Pécresse. A few months ago, the former head of state was invited to a very private dinner.
In his presidential campaign, Valérie Pécresse was able to count on a former President of the Republic. But it’s not Nicolas Sarkozy. In the columns of World, this Sunday, February 13, we learn that the Republican candidate is supported … by François Hollande, yet on the other side. In the summer of 2021, a few weeks after submitting her candidacy for the LR primary, Valérie Pécresse invited the ex-head of state to an intimate setting. In Combressol, in the village where she has a house with her husband, the politician has “invited his friends from Corrèze to dinner”, including François Hollande placed strategically on his right. And the two didn’t just share a meal, as written The world.
Head-to-head, away from the other guests, François Hollande and Valérie Pécresse “review several French cities, to find out if a meeting should be held there”details the daily. “In Colmar, they don’t mobilize much. Concentrate on a few regions, the Côte d’Azur for example”, advised him the ex-tenant of the Elysée Palace, always very aware of current politics. But the links they maintain, François Hollande as Valérie Pécresse do not talk about it. Especially since the support of Julie Gayet’s companion to Anne Hidalgo in the race for the Elysee Palace has been long overdue. “I am a socialist and I have always voted socialist. I am constant and faithful”he whispered near West France.
“If Pécresse is elected”, Nicolas Sarkozy “knows that he is dead political”
“I take the liberty of giving him advice. It is not enough to list measures. You have to have a global project to present to the country”, then launched François Hollande about the mayor of Paris. As for Valérie Pécresse, she will obviously have to do without the help of Nicolas Sarkozy. “If Pécresse is elected, he knows that he is politically deadanalyzed a close friend of the ex-president in the columns of the Point. He will have his contingent of Legions of Honor to distribute, but he will no longer be the great leader of the right. Although retired from politics, Nicolas Sarkozy would bet more on Emmanuel Macron : “He says to himself that he could still do something with Macron, if he is re-elected, by imposing cohabitation on him. He has not completely given up on this idea, which could allow him to still pull the strings”.
