Sixty years after General de Gaulle, the myth of the savior still hangs over the presidential election. Stupid, worn-out, simplistic, why is this communication strategy the most effective? Besides, is it a martingale or… a coup?
Who is best placed in 2022 to present himself as a savior? To talk about it, Laetitia Krupa and Gaspard Gantzer receive in this new episode with Jean Garrigues, historian and political scientist, author of the book The providential men (Seuil editions). Vincent Martigny, professor of political science at the University of Nice and author of a book on Emmanuel Macron entitled The return of the Prince (Flammarion editions), will also share his analysis with us.
Back on the recipe of the “providential man” to win the presidential election, a recipe that appears rather to be a patriarchal myth. We will also review the positions of the candidates for 2022 on this subject, without forgetting our tour abroad in Ukraine, where Volodymyr Zelensky pushed the myth of the savior even further.
