Invited to the 8 p.m. news on TF1, Emmanuel Macron wanted to quote a cult program to illustrate an idea. Bad luck, he didn’t have the right reference.
Since his first presidential candidacy in 2017 and his mandate as President of the Republic for the past five years, Emmanuel Macron has accustomed us to unusual quotes or unexpected analogies in his speeches. He likes to have a sense of the formula, even if sometimes it falls flat.
He lived a little moment of solitude in front of Gilles Bouleau and Anne-Claire Coudray. He was invited in the new format Your France for tomorrow, presented in the 8 p.m. of TF1, as a qualified candidate in the second round of the presidential election. Emmanuel Macron spoke about his competitor Marine Le Pen. The National Rally candidate had done the same exercise during the week.
To make Emmanuel Macron react, the journalists took up the words of Marine Le Pen on the question of the retirement age, which Emmanuel Macron wishes to postpone. The Head of State’s response surprised them.

Except that the program cited by Emmanuel Macron does not exist, at least not under this title. Gilles Bouleau saw fit to correct the remarks of the president who got lost. “Good night, little ones”, corrected Gilles Bouleau.
This mistake did not destabilize Emmanuel Macron, who was content to resume the course of his speech. “Good night little ones, thank you for correcting me Mr. Birch”, he launched.
