Summary France's first lady regrets tweet that was read by many as a dig against Hollande's ex wife.
Valerie Trierweiler (Tree-yer-wy-LUHR) told regional daily Ouest-France in an interview published Wednesday that the tweet was a mistake.During Frances legislative election in June, she wrote words of encouragement on Twitter to a Socialist who was running against Segolene Royal Hollandes former partner to represent a western region.Many interpreted that as an attack on Royal, who ended up losing.Trierweiler took the offending comment off her Twitter page weeks ago, but the fallout lives on.A new poll released Wednesday suggests most French dont have a good opinion of her.Hollandes popularity rating has been sliding in recent months.
