Vulnerable: Politicians claim Hollande’s partner Valerie Trierweiler should not receive taxpayer-funded perks
It follows humiliating revelations that her partner, President Francois Hollande, has âfallen in loveâ with a woman almost 20 years his junior.
Mr Hollandeâs relationship with actress Julie Gayet, 41, was exposed by a series of pictures in French Closer magazine which show him travelling to see her on a moped.
But beyond a new romance, opponents claim the scandal exposes publicly funded deceit, security lapses, and the huge cost of a first lady who no longer has any legitimacy.
Since the publication, the president has not been at peace over the affair which has gone viral in many international media.
According to reports monitored on CNN and agency reports, Hollande, 59, who was elected president in 2012, lives with partner Valerie Trierweiler, 48, a journalist and mother of three.
Hollande is reported to be considering legal action against the magazine.
A member of the presidentâs entourage said in a statement to AFP that âHollande deeply condemns the attacks on the right to privacy which he has a right to like every other citizen. He is looking into possible action, including legal action against this publication (Closer).â
According to AFP, Gayet, who appeared in one of Hollandeâs 2012 election commercials, filed a complaint in March over rumours of the affair, which she said were a breach of privacy.
The president has four children of his own from his previous long-term relationship with prominent French Socialist politician Segolene Royal.
Mr Hollande, who turns 60 this year, was poised to make a statement to âclarifyâ the position of 48-year-old divorcee Miss Trierweiler.
She currently has five staff working for her at her office as well as numerous other taxpayer-funded perks, including homes across France, private jets and limousines.
As anger at the scandal grew, politicians suggested Miss Trierweilerâs position was already untenable.
âIs it normal that she stays at the Elysee on taxpayersâ money while the President has other relationships,â said MP Daniel Fasquelle. He added: âSo who is Franceâs first lady now?â
Georges Fenech, of the opposition UMP, even suggested that both Mr Hollande and Ms Trierweiler should quit the Elysee.
âThe question of the resignation of Francois Hollande needs to be posed, before the values upon which our nation is based are not completely destroyed,â he said.
âHow can we not deplore this intolerable attack on the image of France?â
He said it was outrageous Mr Hollande was using âbodyguards paid for with public fundsâ to attend secret trysts with Miss Gayet, who has two children with her estranged husband, Argentinian film director Santiago Amigorena, 51.
Miss Trierweiler has made no official comment, but friends have confirmed that she is âincensed and humiliatedâ.

There were even claims that she and Mr Hollande have been living separate lives for months and that the president is keen to âformaliseâ his relationship with Miss Gayet.
Photographers from French Closer, who watched a Paris flat a few hundred yards from the Elysee for several days, said Mr Hollande regularly met his lover there, wearing a crash helmet when entering and leaving the building in a weak attempt at disguise.
Both Mr Hollande and Miss Gayet have pledged to take action over alleged breaches of privacy following the exposure of their affair, though neither denies it.
French actress Frederique uses her fit body to draw attention to âdrum up supportâ for French president Francois Hollande.
