Having a Love affair is a French atavism we are proud about and that protocol does not erode.Discretion is optional behaviour.
But nasty Albion's newspapers love to unveil the option and it is the Daily Telegraph that makes more than clear today that our French President's couple is in pink trouble (see on the attached cover the article 'Sarkozy affair rumours sweep France').
Political marketing finds unexpected limits in atavism and the French Berlusconi, autodesignated as 'king of willingness', is unable to keep his wife Mrs Bruni at home.
The very recent icon introduced in France with Mr Sarkozy's election of the perfect and successful couple embodying the successful political ideas of the French President is from now obsolete.
Replacement of the icon will come very soon: nowadays in France, sucessful political ideas cannot remain without female incarnations.
Mariane has gone, Cybele is back.
Fine. But androcracy may have to adapt.
Updating: History will tell whether it was a clumsy hoax or just a bothering truth, but the French newspapers which originally published the news presented its excuses and claimed ultimately the reported disappointments in love of the official Couple were not true.
New updating: Former French cabinet star, Rachida Dati, has had her government security team withdrawn after being blamed for spreading rumours about the state of Nicolas Sarkozy’s marriage. Too bad for my line on atavism but, praise the Lord, the icon is finally safe.
