"He's a loudmouth!": Dati, Doualemn, Bayrou... Gérald Darmanin gives his strong opinion

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Les Grandes Gueules , the Minister of the Interior was invited to comment on three personalities who were introduced to him. The first was the Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati .

"Ah, well, great," began Gérald Darmanin , smiling. "She has great courage and a great sense of honor. Rachida is like me, I think, if I may say so, she also knows the social contempt of a certain political class, of certain politicians because we come from immigrant backgrounds. She is also a loudmouth, she says what she thinks and many French people love her for that," said Gérald Darmanin.

Alain Marshall then showed him the photo of Doualemn, the influencer who was expelled from France to Algeria for a video calling for violence, but who was turned back at the Algerian border and sent back to France.

"We have to get on with it," commented Gérald Darmanin. "I know the Minister of the Interior wants to expel people, and he's absolutely right. We'll have to get on with it. It's very difficult to expel illegal immigrants. It's not easy to do, but I think Bruno Retailleau has the energy to do it," he added.

The last name to be proposed to him was that of his Prime Minister, François Bayrou . "Pugnacious," replied the Minister of Justice. "We can criticize, but it's very difficult. There are probably 60 million coaches for the French national football team, but in the end, there's only one. François Bayrou doesn't have a majority, he doesn't have a budget, so I find him courageous and pugnacious," he added.
