Flipcharts to write down ideas

It will not be an entertainment show, like the ones that Cyril Hanouna is used to animating. While it is obviously expected some jokes on his part, the form should however remain quite sober, remaining focused on the dialogue. Marlène Schiappa, she has already confided that it would come "with [his] paper board and [his] small felt Velleda". The debate will be recorded on the site of the "Great National Debate".

Viewers called to vote

During the show, viewers will be able to vote live for the proposals that suit them best. Seven ideas will then be retained and "transmitted to the government".

(but we already knew!)", Including quipped on Twitter the spokesman of the National Rally, Sebastien Chenu. "It's TV show, like the president's talks with mayors," said Republican MP (LR) Éric Woerth, on Public Sénat.

On the government side, some did not seem very inclined to support their colleague. "I would not have done it personally," said the Minister of Higher Education, Frédérique Vidal, on France 2. "I believe that my role as minister is more to listen, to watch what emerges from the debates rather than animating debates, and then, of course, if it is desired by the people, a minister can also animate a debate ".
