Pour les "Progressistes," Chaque Jour est de Jour Opposé

Francois Hollande's former partner says that France's socialist president hates the poor... [More]
Mais certainement.

And for those of you actually fluent in French, that's as close as I can get using Google Translate. Feel free to correct/educate via "Comments."

UPDATE: We have a winner!
 "Pour les "Progressistes" chaque jour est un jour à l'envers."

French-Canadian here,

That would be "Pour les "Progressistes" chaque jour est un jour à l'envers."

"à l'envers" means reversed.

The Seinfeld concept of opposite day isn't really known in the French-speaking world but exists as a children's thematic day in Cub Scouts and such where you wear your clothes backwards and eat dinner in the morning. It is known as "journée à l'envers".

For your purposes the word "jour" fits just fine, the distinction is not really important.

Another piece of information you may use some day: the French term for Champagne Socialist is "caviar left". Rapey Strauss-Kahn was the archetype of caviar left, and I'm not exactly surprised at reading this about Hollande.

Have a good day sir.
