French President Francois Hollande is facing a scandal over the exorbitant price of his haircuts, the Newsmax website reports today (July 14, 2016).
The revelation that the Socialist leader -- elected on a populist mandate of taxing the super-wealthy -- spends about 10,000 euros ($11,000) a month on his presidential barber, has been dubbed "Coiffeurgate."
The scandal deepens the uphill struggle of Hollande, 61, to recapture the Elysee palace in next May's general election.
The original story by Le Canard Enchaine newspaper was confirmed yesterday by French government spokesman Stephane LeFoll, who tried to defend his boss for the haircut's exorbitant cost.
