Lovers, mistresses, passions and treason ... There is such a theater genre in France - a boulevard theater, with the famous authors - Faido, Labish, Kurtelin. His productions usually tell about a lover hidden in a closet, servants eavesdropping under the door, a deceived lady sobbing in the next room. In early 2014, the Boulevard Theater rumbled into the Champs Elysees, plunging the French president Francois Hollande into a colossal political catastrophe.

Hearing on the head

On January 10, the Closer weekly tabloid doubled its sales (up to 600 thousand copies), placing the President’s Secret Love on the cover. On six pages with photographs, the love adventures of President Francois Hollande and his connection with the French actress Julie Gaye*were revealed. The place of dates is the apartment provided by the actress’s friend and located only tens of meters from the Eliseisian Palace. Photos of Closer demonstrate the president in a motorcycle helmet, who had just arrived on a scooter, controlled by his bodyguard, in a decent Garsonerian in order to spend the last night of the outgoing year - from December 30 to December 31.

Rumors about what, in fact, Valerie Tireweiler, the official companion of Francois Hollande, who adopted the baton in Moldin Ruayal ** in 2007 - became a lonely woman, circulating Paris for a month now. Valerie, the “first lady of France”, as the official Internet site of the President of the Republic tells us, nevertheless calmly continued to be the “first lady”, benefiting from moving to the Champs Elysees-with its clerks, cabinets and other administrative resources-for its charity projects. In addition, a couple of Hollande/Trierweiler, as if nothing had happened, announced their joint participation, for example, January 7, in the traditional tasting of the festive galett de Rua **.

And then the sky fell on their heads. The scandalous sensation published in Closer forced Valery Trierweiler to tear on the hospital on January 10 - “against the backdrop of a huge emotional shock,” according to one of her friends. And she probably will have to stay in bed rest for a while. “The news struck her in the very heart,” her friend admitted. The tabloid television and the press were immediately covered by the news, which became their beloved for them: Julie Gaya, a famous actress, 41 years old, two children, divorced several years ago, starred in almost six dozen films. By the way, Julie already had a connection with the French Socialist Party: in the 2007 elections, she supported Rulen Rual, a candidate from the socialists, and in 2012 she participated in the presidential campaign of Hollande when he bypassed Nicolas Sarkozy.

“Valerie is a woman of my life,” said Francois Hollande one tabloid edition in 2010

Catastrophe

Secret (or numerous) love affairs of the French presidents are not a revelation to anyone. Francois Mitterand, who was in power from 1981 to 1995, used numerous state resources, as well as the police unit to protect his second “underground” family and secret daughter Mazarin Penjo. When he died in 1996, the French public opinion was striking in the scene: two families - the official and the one that Mitteran hid for 20 years - was present hand in hand at his funeral. Another President Jacques Shirak, a great lover of adventures and lovers, received a public forgiveness from his wife Bernadetta - a gesture that gained very popularity in France. Well, Nicolas Sarkozy already followed them. Arriving in the Champs Elysees with his wife Cecilia, he divorced her a few months later, presenting his new love on stage, singer Karl Bruni. “Everything is serious with Carla,” Sarkozy explained to journalists. “Valerie is a woman of my life,” said Francois Hollande another tabloid publication in 2010. But "seriously" is only a matter of time ...

The news of Holland's love affair was even more inappropriate, as it was published just four days before the traditional press conference of the president of the republic at the beginning of the year. For Hollande, with its catastrophically low rating (only 24% of the French, according to the latest surveys, consider his activities at the presidential post satisfactory), the meeting with the press on January 14 was of great importance - he considered it as a special operation to conquer the rating and the platform for announcing the new economic policy, the essence of which is in the impending package of the state of the state of France, in which there are about 5 million today about 5 million unemployed.

Instead, Hollande receives a catastrophe on the air. Questions are pouring one after another: “Valerie Trierweiler is still the first lady?”, “Will she be attended at dinner with Barak and Michelle Obama next month?” Hollande is dryly justified: “The issues of private life are resolved in private. Everyone can face some tests. This is just our case. And I will not answer these questions today. ”

Meetings of President Hollande and Julie Gaya took place in one of the apartments of this house on Rue du Cirque (circus street), next to the Champs Elysees

Bad a bad apartment

But sooner or later you will have to answer. Because “private” love adventures are also raised by other issues that are already of public importance and do not belong to the sphere of personal life. As it became known (our online publication Mediapart reported this in its issue of January 12), the apartment on which the president’s secret dates took place, has far from impeccable reputation: her permanent tenant Emmanuel House, the same friend of the actress Julie Gaye, had close ties with several representatives of the “serious” Corsican mathic clan, as well as with with with One of the main Corsican gangs called "sea breeze." This mafia group, the name of which comes from the name of the bar, which many years ago was in the old port of the Bastia (the second largest city of Corsica.-The New Times) and where its members loved to gather, raged on the island since the beginning of the 80s, practicing armed robberies and raids.

But that's not all. Emmanuel Hauk was the civil wife of Michel Ferrachacchi, an actor, one of the former directors of Cercle Wagram, a Parisian casino associated with the "sea breeze", plus she is the mother of his two children. According to the results of the high -profile court litigation, Michel Ferraacci received a year and a half conditionally on the results of this establishment. In the telephone reference book the owner of the mentioned apartment, he appears (although according to official documents, the tenant is his ex -girlfriend), and his last name is on the mailbox.

"If no apartment check was carried out, then this is a huge mistake by GSPR"

"

But that's not all. After her parting with Ferrachci, Emmanuel Hauk lived with a certain Francois Mazini, another Corsican, famous for the police with robberies and also suspected of relations with the "sea breeze". However, Mazini was killed on May 31, 2013 in an ambush arranged for him in Upper Corsica. In the necrologist, Emmanuel House is mentioned as his civil spouse.

Could the presidential guard not know about the connection of this apartment with a serious crime? In terms of negligence or because of passion, in ignorance or in a fit of secrecy - one way or another, the French president was in an extremely vulnerable position. Add the risk of blackmail here - from those who were in the know, for what purpose the apartment was used?

The Security Group of the President of the Republic (GSPR) includes about 60 gendarmes and police officers, it is officially intended to protect the president in his private and public life. “They did not have enough precautions, what else can I say,” Denis Ru commented on the situation, who was the head of this group from 1999 to 2002. According to another authorized police official, “if no apartment check was carried out, then this is a huge mistake by GSPR. These are basic things! "

Thus, Francois Hollande, in addition to the already opened public lies about his real relationship with the official companion of Valerie Tireweiler (by the way, for the first time, Suzh visited her in the hospital only on January 17), he also imposed his presidential duties. He promised to give “necessary explanations” and “clarify the situation” before the February trip to the United States. And the country crushed by the economic and social crisis awaits the final of the love affair of its leader.
