Visibly relaxed, the former president, known for his humor, also spoke about the current president, in particular when Samuel Etienne clarified that he had been his Minister of the Economy.

"You do well to remind him, I think he himself has forgotten", had fun François Hollande.

"Barrier gesture" against Macronian communication

The former mayor of Tulle also unchecked a little sentence about the communication operation of Emmanuel Macron carried out with the youtubers McFly and Carlito, a song to promote barrier gestures.

"I think it is rather not bad to ask these two creators to make a song and to make an animation so that one respects the barrier gestures", greets François Hollande.

But what did the former president really think of the result?

"It is better to make a barrier gesture in front of this song", he joked.

The next stage of François Hollande's new media tour will be held next Monday evening, on the set of the
