Summary
Dominique Pagani mentions François Hollande mainly as a stage in the political continuity running from Mitterrand to Macron1. He places him on the centre-left, barely distinct from the centre-right, and sees only imperceptible nuances between him, Sarkozy and Macron2. He counts him among the leaders who carried out liberalisation, with the same reform programme as Sarkozy3. He often comes back to the slogan "change is now." He criticises his Atlanticism: he considers him more Atlanticist than Obama, and notes that he did not reverse France's return to NATO's integrated command4. He also recalls the military intervention in Mali decided during his presidency5, the ratification of the European treaty and the cutting of hospital beds. He takes the young Sciences Po graduate's move to the left as an example of opportunism. In 2024, he describes him as the "old warhorse" of the Nouveau Front populaire. In his view, he would not make the MEDEF tremble, and he is not the left.
