France’s two presidential candidates, Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande, have been on the front pages of French newspapers and on TV screens for 2 weeks. Their political programmes have been scrutinized while little has been said about their personal life. When France’s presidential campaign kicked off, the local mass media stressed that Carla Bruni and Valerie Trierveiler would play a very important role in the life ofSarcozy and Hollande. The moral portrait of presidential candidates is of great importance too.We know that the surprising details about the personal life of one of the presidential candidates crushed his political ambitions a long time ago. The career of the main Socialist Party candidate, Domenique Strauss-Kahn, was destroyed by a maid of one of the New York hotels while it is very doubtful that Nicolas Sarkozy or Francois Hollande could find themselves in a similar situation. There are more chances to tarnish the reputation of a president or that of a presidential candidate by compromising his (her) companion.
