The Spectator(@spectator):Léa Salamé is one of the most familiar faces on French television. For the past month, however, she has been absent from the anchor's seat presenting the evening news on the big public network, France 2. At the end of the summer, Salamé announced that she had taken a 'difficult decision' to step away from her high-profile programme to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Salamé is romantically involved with politician Raphaël Glucksmann, who on Sunday won the Socialist primaries and is now the party's official candidate in the French presidential election next spring. ✍️ Matthew Fraser Article | https://t.co/mvjeokqEcJ
