MICHAEL SARDOU. Guest of Touche not at my post, the singer Michel Sardou gave water to the mill of his estrangement with the leader of La France insoumise.
Back to school with Michel Sardou: for his first show of the season, Touche pas à mon poste received the French singer on the set of C8. And obviously, he had things to say. In “conflict” with Jean-Luc Mélenchon for a few months, Michel Sardou did not miss this opportunity to respond to the leader of La France insoumise, who had encouraged him not to leave France (the singer had launched in the press that he would “shoot” if Mélenchon won the legislative elections, editor’s note.)
“He imagines the guy we get off to get some dough in the Caribbean or I don’t know where. Me, I have two things: I have a house in Normandy and an apartment in Paris, and a Porsche (…) I’ve always paid my taxes on time, I haven’t had any problems, I’ve never been pissed off. So I pay way too much tax in my opinion, I’m saying this frankly, but on the other hand, what do you want, I also earn a lot of wheat. So I have to pay taxes, so I don’t mind, “said Michel Sardou to Cyril Hanouna in TPMP. And to conclude: “He fucks the shit up.”
Between Michel Sardou and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the exchange of spades began in June 2022, when the popular singer, in the columns of Paris Match, had given his point of view on the legislative elections. But it was his comment on the candidate of La France insoumise which had aroused the greatest number of comments. “Mélenchon is always in excess. Now he declares himself Prime Minister. Attention, danger! If he wins, I get out. Or else I declare Normandy a duchy and I put up barriers everywhere”, launched Michel Sardou.
A short sentence that did not fail to make people talk, until the morning of franceinfo, Friday June 3. Guest of Marc Fauvelle, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was questioned on the question. “I don’t know why he wants to leave. There are a lot of French people who love him. He is part of the heritage. He likes it or he doesn’t like it, but that’s how it is. And then himself, he loves his country”, underlined in particular the leader of LFI.
And to add: “Mr. Sardou, don’t leave, stay, we love you too much and you love your country too much. Remember Danton’s sentence: you don’t take your homeland on the soles of your shoes!”
