Journalist Julien Arnaud, who will question the former head of state, believes that this interview "is an event". "He has not spoken like that on TV for a year. So, I think his speech, she is really expected," he said.
"Besides, you just have to see throughout this weekend and even today, we can see that there is a strong expectation in relation to this meeting tonight. We are really very happy that this is happening at home ", satisfied Julien Arnaud.

"It's an interview that will be relatively linked to the news"
In his new book, written during confinement, Nicolas Sarkozy returns in particular to his election in 2007, but also the major events of his five-year term. He also expresses his opinion on the coronavirus crisis, which he sees as "a formidable indicator of the public utility". But should we see in this new work an open door to a return to political life? "By reading this book, we have no doubt that he has a vision of what is happening, it is very interesting to hear him as such", judge Julien Arnaud, who considers this hypothesis unlikely.
"It is certain that if he announces to us that he is a candidate for 2022, it will interest a little bit, but I'm not sure", laughs the journalist from TF1. "It's an interview that will be relatively linked to current events. Because when you read this book, you can clearly see the mirror of what he experienced compared to what we are going through now. I thinks the title is not completely trivial either, we are in the middle of a huge storm, "concludes Julien Arnaud.
