Olivier Delacroix
is a special case in the audiovisual sector.
Whether on Europe 1’s “Free Antenna” or in his show “Dans les yeux d’Olivier” on France 2, the host discusses strong subjects with empathy and kindness.
Like Faustine Bollaert, elected favorite host of the French, he favors dialogue over controversy and benevolence over violence: “
I understand that Faustine is surprised by the violence and the excesses of society.
There are more and more small extremist groups that we hear talking about indiscriminately on social issues about which they know nothing
,” he explains.

TV tonight: our selection of the day
In his show, Olivier Delacroix meets people who are often damaged and full of flaws.
And if certain criticisms are regularly heard, the host defends himself from any miserabilism: “
I claim to make activist films
,” he asserts.
“
I want to move things forward and send a message.
Anyone who says my show is scary doesn't watch it!
Because in the end, there is always light at the end of the tunnel...
"
Dedicated to social advancement in France, tonight's show on France 2 brings together four witnesses including comedian Jérémy Ferrari, himself from a modest background.
“
Jérémy Ferrari is a brilliant boy who has flaws, who is damaged.
He’s a living soul, which I really like
,” says Olivier Delacroix before adding: “
On average, it takes 6 generations to escape poverty!
But, as I always tell my daughter, nothing is impossible.
The four witnesses this evening prove it and tell something about French society: we can manage to take the social elevator but it is not easy, nor is it all beautiful.

Asked about the controversy affecting the Minister of National Education Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, accused of having put her children in the private sector, Olivier Delacroix believes that it is the lie which is at the origin of this affair: “
Me , it doesn't bother me that a parent, even if he is rich, helps his child.
But you have to take responsibility!
Do not hide the fact that you are a minister, that you earn a lot of money, that you come from a wealthy background and that you
put your children in the private sector
.
The minister made a communication error, and when you don't tell the truth, it comes back to bite you.

“The condition of our farmers is not worthy of a country like France”
Olivier Delacroix
For his next broadcast in April, Olivier Delacroix will deal with the subject of farmers and will receive Guillaume Canet, a great defender of the agricultural cause.
“
Many French people do not know the life of farmers
,” believes the host.
“
We're talking about people who work 12 hours a day, who don't get paid and who never go on vacation!
We mistreat our farmers so much that some no longer have hope and can no longer plan ahead.
And be careful of people who have nothing left to lose and who can go very far... Their condition is not worthy of a country like France
,” he concludes.
Olivier Delacroix also reacts to the announcement of the next season of “Dancing with the Stars” on TF1 and mentions his friend Chris Marques, present since the beginning of the show: “When
we talk about “DALS”, we think more of Chris Marques than Camille Combal.
He is charismatic and he embodies the program.
Besides, I don't know why TF1 doesn't make him do more things... He's a very human and very intelligent boy (...) If one day France Télévisions allows me to do so, I would do well' 'Dance with the stars''.
It must be a fun experience and I like sharing things with others.
