  2. Me voilà franchement éffarée.J’ai voté François Hollande au deuxième tour seulement parce que je voulais croire ai changement qui était annoncé et à l’élaboration d’un gouvernement irréprochable. Quelle trahison de voir que François Hollande retient en tant que premier ministre Jean Marc Ayrault, qui est tout sauf irréprochable ! Ce monsieur a quand même était l’objet d’une condamnation à une peine de prison pour acte de favoritisme. Grande déception !!!.
