It’s systematic. As soon as Dominique de Villepin speaks in the media, he breaks records for views on the networks. An unexpected success for someone who is now an international lawyer. De Villepin received an important response during his historic speech in 2003 at the United Nations. Then Minister of Foreign Affairs under Jacques Chirac, he became the French standard-bearer for refusing to follow the United States in their armed operation in Iraq. But why so much success, twenty years later? “He is an expert in international affairs, and he has a certain height, and an analysis that is not bothered by internal politics. And then he is the heir of Gaullism. His speech is not the June 18 appeal, but there is something that resembles it. De Villepin has a heroic side,” analyzes Daniel Garrigue, former UMP deputy. In fact, with each of his outings on TV or on the radio, extracts are seen en masse and followed on social networks. Sometimes accompanied by epic music worthy of the greatest adventure films.
The former Prime Minister is known – and particularly appreciated by certain citizens – for his unfiltered interventions and his positions sometimes contrary to the rest of the political class. He recently came into controversy for comments deemed anti-Semitic on Quotidien, which he then defended. Charismatic, elegant, sometimes caricatured, De Villepin even inspired a series of successful comic strips, “Quai d’Orsay”.
