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 humor 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 October 7, 2021.

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