The deputy of La France insoumise (LFI) for Essonne, Antoine Léaument, republished, Friday November 8, on his X account, an old interview with the actor Fabrice Luchini in which he speaks about men on the left. “You have to be exceptional when you’re on the left”quotes the elected official. In the video, the French artist continues: “When you're not left-wing, you can be average. When you’re on the left, it’s excellence, moral genius, the genius of mutual aid, it’s too much work.” “A man of the left, he sees everything in human nature, marvelous, and I don’t have that feeling”he adds.
A tweet that did not fail to provoke a reaction on the web. “(I think he's making fun of you)”, mocks the novelist Laurent Obertone. “Fabrice Luchini doesn’t care about leftists and the LFI deputy thinks it’s a compliment”in turn tackles Bruno Attal, a former police officer and activist. Another internet user reacts: “Don't take everything at face value. The multiplication of hyperboles is not often a good sign”she laughs.

Accusations of first degree lack which have been widely repeated. However, other users of the platform see in the tweet of the rebellious MP another trait of humor. “Fascinated by all these people capable of seeing irony in Luchini but not in Léaument”writes one of them.
