From a former supermodel with a reputation for partying with rock stars to a twice-divorced mother the French vote for president will see more than just economic policies change. Valerie Trierweiler, 47, the partner of Mr Hollande, will become the first unmarried ‘Première Dame’ in history to enter the Elysee Palace on the arm of the country's most powerful man. The feisty magazine journalist was revealed as Mr Hollande’s lover when he separated from the mother of his four children, the politician Segolene Royal, with whom he lived for 30 years. She had gained the nickname ‘Rottweiler’ after she slapped a colleague on Paris Match who said something she deemed sexist. But despite her reputation, she has said that she intends to be more low key than her predecessor Carla Bruni. ‘I will bend to protocol,’ she said in an interview before the election. ‘But it will be for me to find my place. First Lady is not something I’ve ever dreamed of. What I’m scared of is losing my liberty. 'I am not seeking notoriety and I am not seeking to grab the limelight.' She has also voiced concerns at the prospect of losing her independence because of her partner's new role - and so it seems a wedding is probably the last thing on the to-do list for the new power couple. Trierweiler says she and Hollande first met 23 years ago when she was a political reporter. It was while he was at the ENA that Hollande fell for Ségolène Royal, a young radical. They met at a student party and remained together for 30 years. Royal announced their separation; they had actually split the year before, since Hollande was having an affair with Trierweiler, a journalist on the magazine Paris Match. Royal and Hollande are no longer on good terms — unsurprisingly, since he calls his new partner 'the love of his life' in interviews. 'Can anyone recall anything Francois Hollande has done in 30 years?' Royal asked bitterly at one point, though she has since grudgingly backed him. With the help of The Rottweiler, this campaign saw the emergence of a new Hollande. He lost weight, sharpened his suits and ditched his old-fashioned horn-rimmed glasses. He started to mimic the mannerisms, the talk, even the walk of his hero Mitterrand. (Read by Emily Cheng. Emily Cheng is a journalist at the China Daily Website.) (Agencies) |
奧朗德當(dāng)選法國(guó)總統(tǒng)后，法國(guó)第一夫人即將從和搖滾明星聚會(huì)的前超模布呂尼，換成離異兩次的單親媽媽瓦萊麗。法國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選結(jié)果改變的不僅僅是經(jīng)濟(jì)政策。 47歲的瓦萊麗-特里耶韋萊是法國(guó)當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)奧朗德的女友，她將作為法國(guó)歷史上首任沒(méi)有與總統(tǒng)結(jié)婚的“第一夫人”入主愛(ài)麗舍宮。 在和一起生活了30年的伴侶、政治人士塞格萊娜?羅雅爾分手時(shí)，活躍的雜志記者瓦萊麗被披露是奧朗德的情人。奧朗德和羅雅爾有四名子女。 在《巴黎競(jìng)賽畫報(bào)》的一名同事發(fā)表了一些瓦萊麗認(rèn)為是性別歧視的言論后，她給了這個(gè)同事一巴掌，因此也得了個(gè)“羅威納犬”的綽號(hào)。但盡管名聲在外，她已經(jīng)表態(tài)，和前任卡拉-布呂尼相比自己想保持低調(diào)。 她在大選前接收采訪時(shí)說(shuō)：“我會(huì)遵守禮數(shù)。但我也將找到自己的位置。第一夫人不是我一直以來(lái)的夢(mèng)想，我害怕的是失去自由?！?/p> “我既不想臭名遠(yuǎn)揚(yáng)，也不想成為媒體的焦點(diǎn)。” 想到因?yàn)閵W朗德的新角色，自己可能會(huì)失去獨(dú)立自主，她還表達(dá)了擔(dān)憂。所以看來(lái)奧朗德走馬上任后兩人并不急于結(jié)婚。 瓦萊麗說(shuō)她和奧朗德初識(shí)于23年前，當(dāng)時(shí)她還是個(gè)政治新聞?dòng)浾摺?/p> 奧朗德在國(guó)家行政學(xué)院時(shí)和塞格萊娜?羅雅爾墜入愛(ài)河，當(dāng)時(shí)她還是個(gè)年輕的激進(jìn)分子。他們?cè)趯W(xué)生舞會(huì)上相識(shí)，一起生活了30年。 羅雅爾宣布了兩人分手的消息，其實(shí)在此之前的一年他們就已經(jīng)分手了，而這正是因?yàn)椤栋屠韪?jìng)賽畫報(bào)》記者瓦萊麗的介入。 羅雅爾和奧朗德現(xiàn)在關(guān)系不好，這并不令人吃驚，因?yàn)樗诓稍L中稱新女友是“一生的摯愛(ài)”。羅雅爾曾經(jīng)嘲諷地問(wèn)到：“有人能回憶起弗朗索瓦-奧朗德在這三十年里做過(guò)什么嗎”？但后來(lái)她也勉強(qiáng)支持了他。 在瓦萊麗的幫助下，此次大選人們發(fā)現(xiàn)奧朗德改頭換面了。 他減了肥，穿上了修身的西裝，換掉了老式框架眼睛。他還開(kāi)始模仿他心中的英雄密特朗的言行舉止。 相關(guān)閱讀 美俄總統(tǒng)私聊曝光 “轉(zhuǎn)達(dá)給普京”網(wǎng)絡(luò)走紅 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯：陳丹妮） |
