After Jacques Dutronc and Renaud, Elie Semoun’s turn to share his political opinions on the eve of the first round of the presidential election. But it will probably be the last in view of the volley of criticism received behind. If Elie Semoun assures that jokes and politics “çit does not mix well because thePeople feel attacked and then people feel despised” in the report dedicated to him on TF1force is to note that artist and politics do not go well together either, as he learned at his expense.
Guest on the set of BuzzTV (Figaro) on March 31, the artist had indeed decided on his choice. Just like in 2017, Elie Semoun will vote for Emmanuel Macron. “I will vote, that’s for sure. I will vote for Macron, here I am saying it! But that’s not why I will go to meetings”, he said before concluding. “I just grilled myself with half of France. I’m a little sorry to tell you because it’s stupid to mix politics and art.“
An announcement which therefore sparked an outcry of insults on social networks according to the principal concerned. In the TF1 report, he revealed one of the messages he received which read: “Do you need the money so badly to go talk bullshit on TV?“
A few days earlier, Elie Semoun had also confirmed his statements. “I told this famous show that I was going to vote for (Emmanuel) Macron… I can… Oh no, no… I’m not going to commit at all“confirmed the 58-year-old actor on the airwaves ofEurope 1, before confirming his commitment. “Honestly, I can’t see myself voting for anyone else, that’s all.” All is said.
