Hollande dodges question about alleged affair
France's President, Francois Hollande, has dodged a question about his alleged affair at his first public appearance since the claim emerged.
Mr Hollande’s partner, journalist Valerie Trierweiler, has been in hospital since Friday, when the magazine Closer published photos it said proved Mr Hollande’s liaison with French actress Julie Gayet. The report has heaped new pressure on the already unpopular president.
