Prize for political humor: Roussel great winner for his pic about the French “retained in the bomb”

A nice reward for those who made their jokes a political weapon. Fabien Roussel was awarded the grand jury prize for political humor on Tuesday night for his revelation about rising fuel prices during the presidential election.

“The gas station is the only place in France where the one who wields the weapon is also the one who is assaulted”, the communist deputy, then candidate for the lysée, had launched last March on the set of TF1.

Sarkozy awarded for scolding Pécresse

This contest organized since 1998 by the French Press Club aims to reward the good words of politicians. The last winner of the grand prize in 2021 was Marlène Schiappa, then delegate minister for Citizenship, who had launched “we are not going to ban trios”. She then tried to defend her bill to ban polygamy in France.

Among the other winners of this new promotion, we still find Nicolas Sarkozy.

“It is not because you buy paint, a canvas and brushes that you become Picasso. Valérie Pécresse, she took my ideas, my program and took 4.8%”, he had scolded in the columns of Spota few days after the first round.

Philippe follows “the Jupeist tradition of humor”

This departure came after months of clashes between these two right-wing figures despite the fact that the president’s name had been hissed during the Republican campaign.

Among the other award-winning phrases, there is still that of Édouard Philippe about Jean-Luc Mélenchon that he would have seen well in Matignon in the event of victory in the legislative elections.

“A certain audacity is needed for someone who has been defeated in an election in which he was a candidate to think that he will be elected in an election in which he is not a candidate!” judged the former prime minister in southwest last may.

Ferrand’s cow farm in El Borne

He was delighted at the award ceremony for “carrying on the old tradition of Juppe humor” while thanking the head of La France insoumise “without whom nothing would have been possible.”

Richard Ferrand, defeated in the last legislative elections, was also rewarded by an echo in The chained duck. “Élisabeth Borne is great but nobody knows it”, the former deputy from Morbihan would have launched.
