As has been mentioned several times in Le Figaro, a petition bringing together nearly 1,200 mostly unknown names, protested against the sponsorship of the Spring of Poets, a major cultural event, by a reactionary travel writer, undoubtedly worshiper of Adolf and Benito. It would therefore have to be replaced immediately. The ideal candidate would of course be Cyril Hanouna, but as he is employed by the Bolloré group, he is also reactionary.
Patrick Sébastien would be good in this place, but he declared that he had sympathy for Fabien Roussel (good point) and Jordan Bardella (bad point). We must therefore look to the left, because poetry is from the left. Guillaume Meurice from France Inter, perhaps? He is very funny, and hits his mark on geopolitics, especially when it concerns the Middle East.
Annie Ernaux, Nobel Prize winner for literature, would be perfect: she could ask the participants of the Spring of Poets to write petitions in Alexandrian. Panayotis Pascot, former comedian at Yann Barthès, would win the vote. Last fall he released a lousy book which was very popular. There remains the ideal godfather: Juan Branco, a far-left lawyer who has his habits in a notoriously proletarian Parisian café, Flore.
He continues to flood social networks with negative love letters to the man who obsesses him and whom he knew young, Gabriel Attal. His style is a mixture of Yoda in Star Wars and poorly digested nineteenth-century preciosity. With him, poetry would finally take off. She would even come out definitely wrung out.
