Does supporting Ukraine have an impact on the lives and purchasing power of the French? Millions of citizens are sure that it is. Since the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the prices of electricity and gas but also the price of dozens of everyday products have soared… to the point of creating very precarious situations in thousands of homes. .
This Tuesday, January 3, a restaurateur named Stéphane Desprat explained in particular that his electricity bill has literally increased by 1000%, an unprecedented situation which forces him today to have to go out of business. Outraged by this situation, Raymond let his anger explode and did not hesitate to point the finger at the government which, according to him, should not have taken a position in this conflict.
Something to annoy Géraldine Maillet who remains convinced that helping Ukraine or not has no impact on the inflation recently born in France: “If Russia attacks Ukraine and we don’t help Ukraine, you really think we won’t have a gas problem…” she said.
The tone rises between Cyril Hanouna and Géraldine Maillet
Cyril Hanouna then spoke: “Géraldine, Raymond is not saying that he does not want to help Ukraine, he is saying that at some point…”. The columnist then cut him off to say: “He is looking for the scapegoat!”. And Cyril Hanouna to answer: “Not at all, he is looking for the causes, and what do you have to say to these restaurateurs who are losing everything?”.
Géraldine Maillet then tried to respond by saying that she finds the situation dramatic but then got angry again by being constantly interrupted by the host: “Are you waiting for my answers or are you only asking questions? France has no choice, it is a permanent member of the UN, it must find solutions for everyone. We have a responsibility…”. Cut by Cyril Hanouna, Daniel Riolo’s companion then launched: “Well then, don’t give me the floor, don’t ask me questions! Let Raymond speak, he always agrees with you”.
