POLITICS – Michel Sardou “does not really know” where he is politically, but especially not on the side of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the NUPES, whom he criticizes in an interview published in Paris Match this Thursday, June 2. But the head of La France Insoumise is determined to make him change his mind.
It has been a few years since Michel Sardou distanced himself from politics. As early as 2019 he was already saying that he no longer voted and he found the 2022 presidential campaign “boring”. The upcoming legislative? Only one thing is certain, he will not vote for Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
“Or else I declare Normandy a duchy”
Moreover, if the latter enters Matignon – his objective, via cohabitation – Michel Sardou “gets out”. “Or else I declare Normandy a duchy and I put barriers everywhere”, he declares to Paris Match.
Why vex the Insoumis? Not at all, at least apparently. On Twitter, the outgoing deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône, on the contrary, offered the singer an “interview” to “convince him to stay in France when we have won.” “Many French people love you and the country needs your affection too”, assures Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Will he succeed? In the weekly, the interpreter of “Les lacs du Connemara” severely judges retirement at 60 and the minimum wage at 2000 euros, two flagship measures of the NUPES. “Impossible” to achieve them according to him. “Mélenchon is always in excess,” he adds.
“This century sucks”
However, the variety singer is not more tender with Emmanuel Macron. If he considers it “intelligent”, he regrets that the president does not do what he says. “With him, everything drowns in heaps of words. On pensions, for example, we no longer know what he wants to do, and yet we are just coming out of the countryside. His
‘at the same time’ pisses me off”, annoys Michel Sardou.
That current politicians do not take it personally. Generally speaking, Michel Sardou believes that “this century sucks”. “As it’s gone, I worry. With social networks, the climate of denunciation, #MeToo, inclusive writing and the rest… We are pissed off for everything”, laments the 75-year-old man. Fortunately, he still has the music, even if, here again, he confides that “variety shows don’t thrill him”. Clearly, times are tough.
