This Friday, December 29, Jean-Pierre Raffarin presented on X (formerly Twitter) His wishes for 2024 to the political class. Around twenty personalities took their place. The president, Emmanuel Macron, the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, the minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Éric Zemmour and the former president, François Hollande, have competed in Olympic events by Jean-Pierre Raffarin. Many of them are awarded a gold medal, but others have faced mishaps along the way.
The former senator, who has now retired from political life, did not hold back. Left-wing politicians win very few medals. Anne Hidalgo is the victim of a “ predictable fall when jumping ” And Jean-Luc Mélenchon is “ disqualified for disrespect to opponent » in the judo event. The first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, obtains a gold medal… in diving! Government and right-wing figures are not much spared. The Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti, wins “ saber gold rather than foil » and the president of the Republicans, Eric Ciotti, wins “ gold in canoeing where you have to row while getting wet “. Further to the right, Marine Le Pen only obtains “another failure in the triple jump final”, in reference to her results in the 2022 presidential election, while Marion Maréchal wins cycling gold thanks to her art “ to go around in circles “. Éric Zemmour, for his part, did not obtain any medal and fell in the water because of a “ desalination in the solitary dinghy event “.

Jean-Pierre Raffarin is not his first attempt
As our colleagues at Huffington Post, in 2018, Jean-Pierre Raffarin published his Santa Claus list in which he ordered a new parka for Laurent Wauquiez, or the right to vote for penguins for Ségolène Royal. The former Prime Minister never ceases to surprise. Last May, when he was invited on the set of BFMTV to discuss the social climate in France, he launched into the interpretation of the first two verses of the song “Que je t’aime” by Johnny Hallyday, in front of perplexed presenters.
