Jean-Louis Borloo moves towards winter, driven by the irresistible spring. He appeared and flowers grew in the heads of LCI listeners in Rochebin. Valérie Pécresse will take part. A right-wing or socialist mayor will float. JLB had a hit on France 2 with Delahousse. At the council members’ congress, he beat everyone in terms of applause. Jean-Louis Borloo is no longer a melody in the basement, or a caricature of it Guignol as a smoker who smokes.
He who is one of the richest lawyers in the world according to Forbes left everything to devote himself to Valenciennois (between 1989 and 2002), “the poorest region in Western Europe”. Before embodying the years-long struggle against social inequality that Jacques Chirac cherished: “ Sometimes, when he sees me, he almost sheds tears of gratitude. Everything has changed. Politics today is more about Netflix and The Voice. » They refuse to see the disaster. But here we are.
His meeting with Tapie, his life character, fifteen years of cooperation, is really funny: “ The first time I saw him, he said to me: “HEC offered me a teaching chair on distressed companies.”It was funny because I had only received it two weeks before. It’s over the top, it’s arrogant, but I’ve never seen him file a case against anyone. He ended up without a penny, I surrounded his wife. He never believed in losing. The Lyonnais were in the wrong but wanted to forget his dubious adventures, especially in the United States. In the end, it’s just an arbitration process, it has nothing to do with the case. »
I’m waiting for it an hour in his office on rue Brunel, between l’Étoile and Porte Maillot. Karine, his partner, explained to me that it was normal. Borloo is not late. He’s different. Slightly wrinkled navy blue pants, dark green zip-up sweater over a white shirt. The jacket can fly, the shoes are flexible. On the armchair, there is the famous red jacket from the Aigle brand that he has worn since time immemorial. The fact that his nest is dominated by a large photo of Mike Tyson is a mystery: “ Don’t you think he is handsome? It’s amazing, isn’t it?» I displayed a forbidden expression and then, a splash. Like Mike, Jean-Louis will bounce back unlimited adsin the ring!
I was so bad at school, I graduated baccalaureate studying Bordas. I took a parallel path, not being able to take preparatory classes
The French are very fond of power comedies, but for ideas it is better to consult Borloo .Bardella’s or Mélenchon’s hypothesis? “ This is false radicalism that does not change its model. If the circle of reason is satisfied with screaming in fear of these two plagues, then the circle of reason will be wiped out. We need this radical federal revolution. » Nothing goes well in France, the gods are thirsty and demanding. He offers us the revolution of the Federal Republic, the likes of which no one has ever attempted!
Basically, sovereignty remained the prerogative of the Republic (security, defense, space, research, etc.) and the “twenty provinces” took over the rest. “We have to stop with the crazy decisions that explain to you how to cut down a tree! Assessing asylum rights, I traced a Malian citizen arrested in Marseille. He could have lived for five years in France, between family, train stations, appeal procedures, without any resolution. There are things that work! In Orléans, they reduced juvenile delinquency by 91%. We just won the Nobel Prize in Economics with Philippe Aghion, but all that comes up is the idea of immediately taxing the bonus, it’s crazy. »
The OECD estimates its project will save 90 billion. Lawyers worked quietly to amend the Constitution. Our political column is leaning more towards 150 billion, which will solve everything. His mane was starting to turn gray. Like Albert Camus: “In the middle of winter, I finally knew that there was an unbeatable summer inside me. » Sarkozy, with whom he maintained a complex relationship, said of him that he worked hard before disappearing for no reason. Many figures encouraged the former president to appoint him as Prime Minister, which is a guarantee of the possibility of a second term.
Where are you from, Borloo? His father, a courier turned boss, gave him only two pieces of advice: “Respect teachers and give your place to women on public transport.» «I was so bad at school, I graduated baccalaureate studying Bordas. I took a parallel path, being unable to attend preparatory classes.» He still has many licenses, an MBA from HEC, a diploma from the University of Manchester (England) and he was probably the first French lawyer to employ many polytechnics and HEC graduates to save the company.
We need for France what we achieved for Notre-Dame, namely, exploding suffocating norms of control. Make this country an exception.
“The French model no longer works, young people are in limbo, we are drowning in debt and we are sinking at high speed towards the violent Mexicanization of society. One third of the children attended vocational high schools and 61% of those who graduated before the end of the year came from this education. They are game for all the crap in the world. » In the spring of 2022, he has signedThe alarmprophetic text.
Later, Borloo looked again”all social partners, mayors, regional presidents, senators, parliament members from all parties» : «And there, I understood that the system cannot be changed one bit. We need for France what we achieved for Notre-Dame, namely, exploding suffocating norms of control. Make this country an exception.»
He never really forgave Macron for throwing out his suburban development plans on May 22, 2018. They had all been signed off. The current president himself threw a huge reception to finally embarrass him. There are no other words. But this is uncontrolled slippage:“The justice chain is not functioning well, and neither is the prison chain. We are doomed this year to the 17th.”etime by the European Court of Human Rights for prison conditions. »
“The people in Bercy were wrong by 20 billion in one year, 40 billion in one year, and this morning we found out that they were wrong by another 10 billion. The system is running out of steam. I have no call to form the presidential team. But I am a trustworthy third party, especially to the mayor and social partners.”
Before his second presidential election, (Emmanuel Macron) asked me if I wanted to put my gloves back on. The answer is “no”.
This former scout leader is capable of anything. As a young man, he took his troops to renovate shantytowns in Nanterre or to the North Pole. Don’t tickle him any more with the highest ambitions: “I do not have the chromosomes of Republican Presidents, like Mitterrand, Chirac, Sarkozy, Hollande and others.. » Dangerous question for Minc: Is Macron the worst president of the Fifth Republic? Response from the Ministers of State, Ecology, Economy, Finance, Employment, Housing, Social Cohesion, Employment, Cities and Urban Renewal:“No comment. ““Before his second presidential election, he asked me if I wanted to wear the gloves again. The answer is “no”. » But Borloo studied the French case again. He had stopped everything, died of pneumonia and septicemia, then severe periodontitis. Thank you Sébastien Albert, genius surgeon. Forever grateful to his wife Béatrice, whom he married in 2005.
He did not escape questions about Bolloré, whom he had known since high school in Janson-de-Sailly. Let’s not forget that our emergency doctor, as he defines himself, is half Corsican, half Breton through his father. “He sees himself as the person the system wants to destroy at its most fragile moment. To me, he is dynamite for usurpers. He had done extraordinary things in America and continued to find the Parisian marquis’ environment unbearable. So, he’s out. For example, a fake autograph of 100 Rafales for him, a businessman, was a fraud because he did not have a single cent. Therefore, he created a machine that could create audiences, although sometimes in the form of caricatures. The idea that he would play into the hands of the French far right is a joke to me. I know he doesn’t think this is the right solution.» Coming from the incarnation of centrism, JLB’s words are certainly surprising. But after all, he had known Vincent Bolloré for fifty years!
But who can follow you on this adventure? “Each person! Mayor, regional president, business world, social partners. Villepin has undeniable stature. We know what he can do for France, but we have to do it for France. A president especially must know how to surround himself with three or four important people and mediate. »
Because he lacks this chromosome, Borloo embodies a character deep in French culture, a super Scapin who would suggest to us, to quote Molière:“To be honest, there are some things that are impossible for me, when I want to get involved (…). I hate these cruel hearts, because they see the consequences very well, not daring to do anything.»
Wondering that our future might take place on the fifth floor of a dark building on Brunel Street, under Tyson’s gaze.
