Again on the air of France 2, after an interruption last week due to the live broadcast of the big Eurovision song contest, What an era!received this Saturday, May 20, 2023, a rather heterogeneous set composed of personalities who are making the news of the moment: Basile Boli, Mathieu Madénian, Alice Pol, Frédéric Hazan, Camille Combal, Wahiba Gallart, DJ Pone, Manuel Ferrara and… Bruno Le Maire . The latter, author of american runaway, published by Gallimard editions, did not fail to respond to the controversy over his novel containing a few erotic passages that make the buzz and especially to the humorist Philippe Caverivière who wrote a whole chronicle about it… under the watchful eye of the invited Manuel Ferrara, a real “porn star”. But jokers aside, the Minister of Economy and Finance was also seriously interviewed by Léa Salamé on the current inflation and the consequences for our society. And his answer did not fail to react on social networks!

“In addition to being a lie it is indecent”
Indeed, to affirm that he was well aware of the effects produced by inflation on the portfolio of the French, Bruno Le Maire did not hesitate to mention his personal case: “I try to be fair, to be careful that prices go down for the consumer. Because I myself have a large familyI have four children to feed”he said before specifying that he himself had to “to pay a lot of pasta packs”, which allowed him to know “perfectly that the prices have become unbearable for the French”. His comparison with ordinary mortals obviously did not fail to react, especially on the left where we unsheathed his Twitter pronto! Thus the LFI deputy for Haute-Vienne Damien Maudet immediately declared: “Bruno Le Maire, 10,000 euros net per month, suffers from the price of pasta. So what should the vast majority of French people say – 10 million of whom live below the poverty line. What a disconnect” he swung. Same sound for the ecologist deputy of Hauts-de-Seine, Sabrina Sebaihi who replies: “When one is privileged by life, moreover when one is a minister, one takes care not to explain that one lives the daily problems of the French people. Besides being a lie it’s indecent”, she pointed out. For its part, the National Rally, in the person of Julien Odoul, spokesperson for the far-right party, denounced a “making fun of”. And, above all, hundreds of anonymous people to agree… from all political backgrounds.
