Francois Hollande Career

Early political career

Hollande joined the Socialist Party five years after volunteering as a student to work for François Mitterrand's ultimately unsuccessful campaign in the 1974 presidential election. He was quickly identified by Jacques Attali, a senior advisor to Mitterrand, who planned for Hollande to run in the 1981 presidential election in Corrèze against potential President Jacques Chirac, who was then the leader of the Rally for the Republic, a Neo-Gaullist group. In the first round, Hollande lost to Chirac.

He went on to serve as a special advisor to newly elected President Mitterrand before serving as a staffer for Max Gallo, the government's spokesperson. He ran for Corrèze for the second time in 1988, this time being elected to the National Assembly for the second time. Hollande lost his bid for re-election in the so-called "blue wave" of the 1993 election, which was attributed to the fact that the Right gained seats at the expense of the Socialist Party.

The Socialist Party was torn by internal internal faction conflicts, each trying to influence the party's course as Mitterrand's term in office came to an end. Hollande pleaded for reconciliation and for the party to unite behind Jacques Delors, the President of the European Commission, but Delors resigned from his ambitions to run for the French presidency in 1995. Lionel Jospin, the former head of the party, resurfaced, and Hollande was picked to replace Hollande as the official party spokesperson. In 1997, Hollande defeated Corrèze once more in the National Assembly, winning a second term.

Jospin became France's Prime Minister in the same year, and Hollande became the country's First Secretary of the party, a post he would hold for ten years. Hollande's position led to some people referring to him as the "Vice Prime Minister" due to his steadfast position within the French government during this period. Hollande will continue to be elected mayor of Tulle in 2001, a post he will hold for seven years.

Following Jospin's surprise defeat by far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen in the first round of the 2002 presidential election, Hollande resigned from politics, making him the party's public face in the 2002 election. Although he managed to minimize losses and was re-elected in his own constituency, the Socialists lost nationally. He obtained the support of several well-known figures of the party in order to prepare for the 2003 party congress in Dijon, and was re-elected first secretary against the opposition from left-wing factions.

Following the success of the Left in the 2004 regional elections, Hollande was considered a potential presidential candidate, but the Socialists were split on the European Constitution, and Hollande's support for the ill-fated "Yes" position in the French referendum on the European constitution contributed to internal divisions. Although Hollande was re-elected as the first secretary of the Le Mans Congress in 2005, the party's control began to diminish. Ségolène Royal, the party's domestic partner, was eventually elected to represent the party in the 2007 presidential election, where she would face Nicolas Sarkozy.

Hollande was widely criticized for the Socialist Party's poor results in the 2007 election, and he has confirmed that he would not seek another term as First Secretary. Hollande has expressed support for Bertrand Delano, the city's mayor, but Martine Aubry was the one to win the election to replace him in 2008. Hollande was first elected to replace Jean-Pierre Dupont as the president of the GM of Corrèze in April 2008 and gained re-election in 2011.

In early 2011, Hollande declared that he would run as a candidate in the forthcoming primary election to choose the Socialist and Radical Left Party presidential nominee. This was the first time either party had an open primary to choose a joint candidate at the same time. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the front-runner, former finance minister and International Monetary Fund managing director, first tagging him. Following Strauss-Kahn's arrest on suspicion of sexual harassment in New York City in May 2011, Hollande began to lead opinion polls, and Strauss-Kahn announced that he did not run for the nomination. Hollande led the first round of the first round in September after a series of televised debates with other candidates throughout September. He did not get the required 50% to prevent a run-off election, but was forced to run a second time against Martine Aubry, who had finished second with 30 percent of the vote.

On October 16, 2011, the second election was held. Hollande gained 56% of the vote to Aubry's 43%, making him the official Socialist and Radical Left Party nominee for the 2012 presidential election. All of his leading candidates in the primary – Aubry, Ségolène Royal, Arnaud Montebourg, and Manuel Valls – have pledged their support for him in the general election.

Pierre Moscovici and Stéphane Le Foll, both a member of Parliament and Member of the European Parliament, respectively, over Hollande's presidential campaign. On Sunday, Hollande launched his campaign officially with a rally and major address at Le Bourget, in front of 25,000 people. Equality and financial control were two of the key issues of his speech, both of which he promised to make a significant part of his campaign.

In a manifesto containing 60 proposals, including segregating retail investment banks from dangerous investment-banking jobs; raising taxes on major corporations, banks, and the wealthy; and removing French troops from Afghanistan in 2012. In a major speech in Orléans on February 9, he outlined his reforms specifically relating to education.

President Nicolas Sarkozy announced on February that he would seek a second and final term, chastising the Socialist agendas and predicting that Hollande will result in "economic disaster within two days of taking office." According to opinion polls, a close fight between the two guys in the first round of voting, with the majority of polls showing Hollande comfortably ahead of Sarkozy in a hypothetical second round. On the first round of the presidential election, the first round was held on April 22nd. François Hollande won with 28.63% of the vote and met Nicolas Sarkozy in a run-off. Hollande was elected with 56% of the vote in the second round of voting on May 6, 2012.

Cops in Paris were convicted of beating a man with a telescopic baton after his brutal arrest, leaving him with life-changing anal injuries

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 9, 2024
Theodore Luhaka, 28, (left), was arrested in 2017 while still 20 in Aulnay-sous-Bois (right), during which he was assaulted with a baton, beat, and drenched with tear gas. During the arrest, one of the policemen, Marc-Antoine Castelain, beat Luhaka with a deadly anal blast, leaving him with serious anal wounds, as well as a four-inch gash to his large intestine. Castelain was accused of raping Luhaka with the baton, but police said the 22-year-old was mistakenly injured after his trousers 'came down on their own' when he was struck on the backside. Those rape charges have since been dismissed in the lawsuit that sparked intense demonstrations in Paris at the time. 'The blow I gave was compliant with police laws and legitimate,' Castelain, 34, told the court in the Paris suburb of Bobigny today.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Should Keir Starmer get on Emmanuel Macron's good side by offering him a state visit? During Queen Elizabeth II's reign, only the French president and his predecessor Francois Hollande were given the honour

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: When King Charles meets French President Emmanuel Macron, the British politician most recently whispering into his ear would have been Sir Keir Starmer. The fact that Macron hasn't been invited for the traditional carriage ride down the Mall at the halfway point of his second and final term is considered a "slight" at the Elysee Palace.
