Laurent Ruquier's programs seem to be a breeding ground, if not a springboard, for the renewal of the faces of the French political landscape.
After Éric Zemmour, former columnist of "We are not lying" and presidential candidate, two other former columnists are running for parliamentary elections.
From the set of
We are not lying
to a political career, the path seems more and more clear.
With the start of nominations for the legislative elections of June 2022, two former columnists from Laurent Ruquier's program, stopped in 2020, are getting involved in the life of the city.
The former columnist Charles Consigny is running in the Yvelines, in the 4th district, for the Les Républicains party.
The lawyer had already committed in January for Valérie Pécresse's presidential campaign.
