Broadcast on Sunday May 8, 2022, the France 3 Bourgogne program on the legislative elections highlighted a young political figure, but not in his favour: Mélanie Fortier. Member of the National Rally, the young woman answered questions from Elsa Bezin, not far from other elected officials such as Michel Neugnot of the Socialist Party, François-Xavier Dugout of the Republicans (LR), Didier Martin of Renaissance (new name of La Republic on the move) and Dominique Guidoni-Stoltz of La France insoumise (LFI). At the question “what public service do you want at the National Rally? What policy?”the guest has lost her means and fails to answer, causing a palpable unease on the set.
The young regional councilor of Bourgogne Franche-Comté Mélanie Fortier, 24, could not find her words when it came to developing the subject of public services. “Actually, I didn’t quite understand the question.“replied the young woman who supports the defeated presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen. Despite the presenter’s new attempts to clarify her request, the elected representative fails to bounce back:I’m sorry… Can we cut this part? I really don’t understand this question.“Elsa Bezin tells him that she cannot accede to his request:”It is not possible.“
