France rocked by Presidential sex scandal

Everyone loves a juicy sex scandal now and then, and there is a huge one brewing across the channel from us in the UK. Francois Hollande the French President is in the news as you will know after being exposed as having an illicit affair with actress Julie Gayet. He has been spotted on a scooter speeding across Paris to the home of the actress and "Closer" magazine scooped the pictures. Oooh la la !!! The latest reports indicate that their liaison has been lasting since before the time that Hollande was elected.

Francois Hollande – The man hoping to unseat Sarkozy & become the next President of France.

Here in Britain and I would hazard to guess around the world, we do not know much about Francois Hollande the Socialist Party candidate who will fight against Nicolas Sarkozy in late April in the French Presidential elections. By May, we might know a lot more about this man who is striving to take France in a different political direction. Francois is a career politician and a former student and follower of Francois Mitterrand. His lucky break may have been when Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York over an alleged rape charge, all but ruling him out of contention for the Socialist Party berth. Hollande jumped with glee into his shoes and he hasn’t looked back since.
