Rachida Dati, queen of political broadcast sets, was in great shape on June 19, 2022 to comment on the results of the second round of legislative elections. The former Keeper of the Seals delighted unenthusiastic viewers in the face of these elections strongly marked by abstention, the poor results of the presidential majority, the first steps of the Nupes and the scores of the National Rally. After winnowing Minister Gabriel Attal on TF1, the 56-year-old politician was expected at the premises of BFMTV.
A follower of the punchline, especially during the Paris Council where she attacked her best enemy Anne Hidalgo, Rachida Dati wields a sense of repartee like no one else. Frank and passionate, she is noted for her sincerity as well as her loyalty to her LR family despite the debacle of the presidential elections and the catastrophic score of Valérie Pécresse (4.75%). On BFMTV, she did not stay in her corner despite the large number of speakers during the evening co-hosted by Maxime Switek and Apolline de Malherbe. With his shock phrase “it’s going to be a party in the village“, she scored more than one but that’s not all.
LREM MP Yaël Braun-Pivet, re-elected in Yvelines, suffered a Rachida Dati more inflamed than ever. Sitting next to each other, the two women clearly did not have enough space to express themselves. At first, Rachida Dati was surprised to see her majority rival moaning right next to her as she spoke about the new configuration of the National Assembly which she describes as “ungovernable”: “I’m not showing you, don’t be afraid.“The one who will be able to keep her post as Minister of Overseas then explains, not without annoyance:”It’s very unpleasant the hand in front of the face, that’s all. (…) I am not tense. I simply find that there is an almost vital space, which is not yours. So each on his side.”
But the final word will not be for Nicolas Sarkozy’s former justice minister. “With people like you, we don’t mix“, she says. “I don’t see the reportt,” retorts her neighbor. “Yes, that’s exactly what you just implied.“, concludes the famous mother of Zohra (13 years old).
