(24 Jun 2015) French President Francois Hollande is holding an emergency meeting with the country's top security officials to respond to WikiLeaks documents saying that the US National Security Agency eavesdropped on the last three French presidents.
A French presidential aide, not authorised to be publicly named, said Wednesday's meeting was convened to evaluate the information released and draw relevant conclusions.
The documents published in French daily newspaper Liberation and investigative website Mediapart late on Tuesday include material that appeared to capture officials in Paris talking candidly about Greece's economy and relations with Germany.
Ironically, they also include discussions about American espionage of its allies.
There was no instant confirmation of the accuracy of the documents.
The release appeared to be timed to coincide with a vote in the French Parliament on a bill allowing broad new surveillance powers.
