On his blog French Politics, Art Goldhammer discusses François Hollande’s “battle plan” for 2017. After reading both the Le Monde article and Goldhammer’s excellent analysis this thought struck me:
Either François Hollande is the least self-aware man on the planet or Karl Menninger was right that murder and suicide are interchangeable. It doesn’t surprise me that Hollande turned out to be a political “family annihilator”. What surprises me is that it’s that the Parti Socialiste had two recent opportunities to avoid its fate and choose to stick with François Hollande.
