“It's a barbaric world. A barbarity that does not speak its name... What is at stake today is to rebuild the house. François Bayrou Does François Bayrou incarnate a form of political radicalism? After ten years away from the government, the candidate now poses as a social democrat and proposes what he calls a civic "refoundation" bringing together Republican goodwill. Is his position really “extreme-centrist”? How to build a policy on a triple defiance, vis-à-vis the all-liberal, the all-State and the all-media? Who is the intimate man behind the candidate? What are his roots, his admirations, his values, his anger and his complicity? Whatever the subjects covered, from Europe to urban loneliness, from the deficiencies of the State to faith, Bayrou's words surprise here by their naturalness.
