Jean-Marie Bigard contacted by Emmanuel Macron to discuss the reopening of bars: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

Jean-Marie Bigard is known for his outspokenness. The 66-year-old comedian does not have his tongue in his pocket and never hesitates to utter a rant like May 9 on Facebook. He took the opportunity to denounce "how government manages the coronavirus crisis" and calling for the reopening of bars and restaurants: "I'm tired of agreeing to be locked up like a lion in a cage and to see that on Monday EVERYTHING will re-open EXCEPT the convivial places? We will let our bars, our restaurants, our bistros burst? it???", he dropped. Jean-Marie Bigard then asked the Head of State to contact him so that they can discuss it "between men". A request that has obviously been granted since the President of the Republic decided to call him. According to the humorist, Emmanuel Macron even "proved right" and promised him a timetable. "We are going to change strategy". "I bring my mouth back, I shit on the president and the president calls me", said Jean-Marie Bigard again, on South Radio.

(Following my rants on facebook during confinement). I would like to tell these journalists that I am sorry if they cannot speak to the president.

As a reminder, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe must speak by June 2 next to discuss the continuation of the deconfinement of the country, which began Monday, May 11 in France.
