Former French President François Hollande drops another comeback hint at private party

François Hollande, who served as French president from 2012 to 2017, hinted at a potential return to politics in 2027 during a private event, stating he 'could be useful' in the next election. Despite improved public perception in recent years, polls suggest he trails significantly behind rivals on the left, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Raphaël Glucksmann, with the Socialist Party set to hold a primary in October to select its candidate.
