“You have all the predispositions to become” a dictator, launches Bruno Le Maire to Eric Zemmour during “Elysée 2022”

He had a shock up his sleeve. “General de Gaulle had said that it was not at the age of 70 that he was going to start a career as a dictator, I see that at 63, you have all the predispositions to become one”, assured Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of the Economy, to Eric Zemmour, in “Elysée 2022”, Thursday, December 9. The duel between the former columnist and the boss of Bercy was tense throughout the duration of the confrontation, about 30 minutes.

Earlier, the recently declared far-right candidate announced that he wanted the role of the Constitutional Council to be less important than it is today. “In my conception of democracy, it is the people who decide and not the Constitutional Council. So I take decisions and we will see what the Council decides when it has the same conception”, he asserted. “In my conception of democracy, Mr. Zemmour, the President of the Republic does not have all the full powers, he is subject to a legal order, which prevents him from doing anything”, replied Bruno Le Maire.
