This Thursday, Jacques Chirac was finally released from the hospital. He will spend the end of year holidays with his family in Paris.
Jacques Chirac, surrounded by his relatives, left the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. In total, the former head of state (1995-2007) stayed there for a fortnight, after entering on December 9 for a general health check.
With this new hospitalization, the former President of the Republic has caused a lot of concern among his supporters. In 2013 and 2014, he had already been admitted to hospital first for kidney surgery, then for a gout attack, increasing rumors about his condition.
It must be said that Jacques Chirac never really recovered from his stroke, which occurred in 2005, during his second term.
This time, his relatives quickly silenced the bad rumors by specifying that this last hospitalization was not as serious as the previous ones. Jacques Chirac was simply tired and weakened.
Earlier this week, her daughter Claude had already announced that her father would go out later this week. She had been very reassuring, confirming that he had gone through all the necessary medical checks and that his life was not in danger.
This news is all the more happy as it comes two days before Christmas and that the former President will be able to celebrate with his family.
On the other hand, he will not be able to go to Morocco as usual and will stay in Paris, in an apartment in the 6th arrondissement in which he and his wife Bernadette Chirac have just moved.
Another downside: he is always tired, and according to r informationpicked up by the newspaper The Parisian, he would get around mainly in a wheelchair.
