PARIS—Officials say former French President Jacques Chirac has
been hospitalized with a lung infection.
Jocelyne Gastellu of the Paris Hospitals Foundation confirmed
Sunday that the 83-year-old was admitted to a hospital in Paris but
couldn't confirm local media reports that it followed a visit to
Morocco.
Former housing minister Cecile Duflot said that she wished Mr.
Chirac a speedy recovery during an interview on BFM-TV, adding that
"when you're older a lung infection can be complicated."
Twitter saw an immediate outpouring of goodwill messages from
political protegees of the leader, who was French president from
1995 to 2007, including from former President Nicolas Sarkozy and
former Prime Minister Alain Juppe.
The two politicians are vying to be the Republicans party
candidate for the 2017 presidential election.
