I did the math: at the rate of forty two-ball valves during the campaign, I arrived at 80 euros. I didn’t even get a thank you… ” he had declared, causing a giggle on the set. The name of the former president of the regional councilIle-de-France often came back in her columns afterwards, to the delight of the team, the guests and the columnist himself, who had fun comparing her to Celine Dion.

A message that left Bertrand Chameroy speechless! “JI would like to take advantage of this video to sincerely thank you for your donation to my campaign” she said before attacking a little harder. “As I have been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for you in recent months, and for your jokes as you say, it was not abnormal that you paid me some royalties” she continued.
