mazarine pingeot meaning in English

mazarine pingeot

The court's judgement revealed that Mitterrand was motivated by keeping elements of his private life secret from the general public, such as the existence of his illegitimate daughter Mazarine Pingeot (which the writer Jean-Edern Hallier, was threatening to reveal), his cancer which had been diagnosed in 1981, and the elements of his past in the Vichy Régime which were not already public knowledge.
Le tribunal releva ainsi que le président François Mitterrand s'était montré soucieux de protéger divers éléments de sa vie personnelle, notamment l'existence de sa fille naturelle Mazarine Pingeot (dont l'écrivain Jean-Edern Hallier, menaçait de révéler l'existence — voire, selon la dépêche de l'agence Reuters rapportant la décision judiciaire, le cancer diagnostiqué fin 1981 et son passé à Vichy pendant la guerre, affirmations qui n'avaient pas paru jusqu'alors).
