“Indignity”, ” lies “ venus “of a pharmacy serving the left”, “a fable”… In the case of possible Libyan financing of the presidential campaign of candidate Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007, the ex-tenant spoke a lot on television sets.
To defend himself, he spoke with the ultimate argument “no one understands anything.” It is this sentence that documentarian Yannick Kergoat ironically adopted in his investigative film, relying on the work of Mediapart journalists Fabrice Arfi, Karl Laske and Michaël Hadjenberg, to unravel the threads of this story.
What does this ironic title mean? Nobody understands anything ?
Karl Laske : We really want to go to Nicolas Sarkozy's ground in this affair which, paradoxically, has lived a lot through his denials. In the media, they have often been given more importance than the facts themselves. Not at Mediapart, where we have written 150 articles on this story, a book, a comic strip, a podcast and no doubt soon we will be making mugs and socks out of it.
This story lived above all through the manner, the power, the strength of conviction of Nicolas Sarkozy – a spectacular media animal – to delegitimize a newspaper, an investigation and even justice. His principle is to put justice on trial when it is interested in him.
We use this phrase from Nicolas Sarkozy to say: chick, let's go into the realm of the spectacular to show that once the dust of communication has settled, there are raw, compelling and strong facts that we can stage. in a sincere and honest manner. What's more at the time of the opening of the historic trial of the Sarkozy-Gaddafi affair where the media noise will generate enormous citizen curiosity.
