Hollande is a product of the so called progressive mentality of today that puts self-gratification as the basic guiding moral principle. He defies public opinion, feels disgusted at the encroachment on his private life, ignoring the fact that he did not hesitate to make it public as long as it fed his self-gratification.

Yet, he was democratically elected to lead France, and that speaks volumes of the fickleness of the electorate. Malta is in “good” company.

Hollande’s standing in the French public opinion has slipped to unprecedented levels for a French president, yet he stubbornly persists to follow his old ways. Was he an inspiration for Joseph Muscat?

In reply to ciccio. Does everyone in Malta still support him? That's the real question. It's easy to get all your views from The Economist but then don't complain when they turn out to be rubbish.

Does he still support Joseph Muscat, or has he ended that relationship too?

I read the original text on le JDD website as circulated by AFP.

It is absolutely appalling.

It is small wonder that the country is in freefall on most fronts.

If this is the sort of executive head of state the French deserve then let them enjoy him.

The country is ruined.

‘egocentric schemer’.Could apply to more than ‘Les Francais.’ Closer to home, maybe?
