On Tuesday evening, September 15, former French President François Hollande appeared on BFMTV to reflect on key moments from his five-year presidency (2012–2017). Now considering a potential run for president in 2027, Hollande expressed regret over several decisions made during his time in office, including the removal of a tax exemption for overtime hours. Hollande's presidency was marked by several controversial episodes. One of the most notable early incidents was the Leonarda affair, named after a teenage girl who was intercepted at a school and expelled to Kosovo with her family. The situation sparked public debate, and Hollande personally intervened, offering to allow the girl to continue her education in France without her family. However, his involvement was seen as inappropriate and drew further criticism, especially after Leonarda declined his offer through a news channel. A deputy from Corrèze later commented that the President's intervention was out of place, stating it should have been handled by the Prime Minister or the Minister of the Interior. Hollande also discussed the decision to reintroduce taxes on overtime hours, a policy he now calls an "error." He explained that while the previous tax exemption had its flaws, taxing overtime hours for workers was not a good decision at the time. This policy had been introduced during the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy and was one of Hollande's key campaign promises. It was intended to reduce the financial burden on public finances and was seen as potentially harmful to employment. Another significant point of contention during Hollande's presidency was the proposal to allow the loss of French nationality for dual-national individuals involved in terrorism. Introduced after the November 13 attacks in Paris, the measure aimed to strengthen national security but deeply divided the left and led to the erosion of the socialist majority in the National Assembly. Despite attempts to revise the proposal, the government eventually abandoned the plan due to a lack of consensus between the two chambers of Parliament. Hollande acknowledged the public backlash and the need to withdraw the measure, stating that it was necessary to avoid further division among French citizens.
