In an interview with Britain’s Daily Telegraph published on Thursday, Hollande said: "It’s shut. The vote has taken place and nobody can question it."
Dismissing attempts by the Remain camp to do so, Hollande added: "One cannot open a negotiation thinking that there is any way out other than leaving. The worst thing would be for overly long discussions on Brexit to prevent the EU from moving forward and for doubt to set in about the irrevocable nature of Brexit."
The former Socialist leader has recently come out of self-imposed silence to promote his memoirs, and step up his criticism of his successor, Emmanuel Macron.
