"It bothers me a lot and I don't think I'm the only one. " Wednesday June 3, 2020, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine and Patrick Cohen welcomed the actor and radio host Edouard Baer, come to defend his new show Night lights broadcast on France Inter. While the whole of France is rediscovering the joys of outdoor cafes and small dishes served in the restaurant, Edouard Baer has a bitter toll of the past eight weeks. However, everything started well. Indeed, the presenter of France 5 made the actor discover Jean-Michel Blanquer's very flattering speech about him. Not sure it was enough … After clarifying that he had nothing against the Minister of Education, Edouard Baer attacked the Minister of the Interior violently, Christophe Castaner, qualified as Minister "panpan cucul".
"The Minister of the Interior speaks extremely badly to people"
"I don't have a priori at all on politics … We have our heads and there are some we don't like", began Edouard Baer, groping. A political correctness that will not last: "There are some who speak very badly. I think that the Minister of the Interior speaks to us extremely badly, that yes, I am convinced. I think he speaks very badly to people. We don't say: 'Be careful, it opens but I'm going to put cops on the roads!' It is the Minister of the Interior, it is not the Minister of 'attention panpan cucul'. What does it mean ?", swung Edouard Baer, visibly annoyed by the subject. Besides, the actor shows some tics of nervousness: "You do this when you are not happy!", Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine pointed out to him, rubbing her nose.
But that's not all. Edouard Baer also criticized the government Emmanuel Macron for not being clear enough during the coronavirus crisis : "I like the interventions when they are clear, when they are technical and we come to explain to us what we are doing. I don't like when we are scared, when we want to please us", he explained, accusing some ministers of playing the card "seduction". For Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine and the various columnists present, it is a surprise. So much so that no one dared to retort. Edouard Baer will therefore have the last word, and not least: "This minister embarrasses me a lot personally and I think I am not the only one."
