Quand les politiques nous faisaient rire

Synopsis of Quand les politiques nous faisaient rire

«Quand les politiques nous faisaient rire» is the humorous essay by Jean-Louis Debré, published by Bouquins in paperback (198 pages, in French).

Jean-Louis Debré brings together retorts, bons mots and anecdotes from French political history, in a stroll through personal memories, to show how humour disarmed opponents and threw the press off the scent. De Gaulle, Mitterrand and Chirac mastered that art; Debré sees it as a sign of democratic health and longs to be able to laugh at everything again.

Work subtitled «Promenade historique, souvenirs personnels et anecdotes», published on 7 October 2021.

For readers interested in French politics, parliamentary rhetoric and humour as a weapon of criticism and seduction.
