During an interview for Seven to Eight on TF1 on Sunday April 23, Eric Cantona confided in social protest in France.
The “King” does not mince his words. During an interview broadcast on TF1 on Sunday April 23 on the Seven to Eight program, Eric Cantona, former Manchester United legend, let loose on social protest in France, in particular because of the pension reform. For the former player, the “contempt” from above is unbearable for him. “I haven’t wanted to eat my health for a long time, and I don’t want to chat around a counter anymore. I say to myself: ‘But don’t people take me for a fool ?’ That the one who is a little higher despises the one who is a little lower, that is unbearable to me.”
“The power in place, I find it very contemptuous.”
