Yeah, mentioned his hypocrisy, along with conh-bandit's, when it came to either supporting or denouncing polanski. Note that despite being a soc9alist heir, mitterand is not that much of an idiotarian, especially compared to the others - what saves him is that he's not an actual, professional politican, but a real entrepreneur in culture, theatre, teevee host, older movie specialist,...
But, his "fondness" for young boys from morocco notably is an open secret, though, in all fairness, so is the curent Paris mayor's own one, and none of the Enlightned Elites are calling for his head; in that regard, frédo mitterrand here pays the price for being an atypical (with a definite conservative cultural side, and not part of the herd) leftist.
