The photo of President Francois Hollande was snapped on Tuesday during a visit to a school in Denain, France. Agence France Presse said it “decided to kill the photo as we considered in retrospect that it provided nothing in news terms.”
The withdrawn photo of Hollande was dubbed the “village idiot" by the Times of London:
Original Caption: During a visit to the school Denain Michelet, September 3, 2013, Francois Hollande smiles, chairing a panel discussion on the reform of school timetables established by the government.

Has this photo been withdrawn because the Elysée intervened to ask us to do so? The answer is no, that's absolutely clear.
