These are two lifelines that could not have crossed. And yet, Emmanuel Macron and Nicolas Sarkozy, are linked. The President of the Republic and his predecessor do not hesitate to publicly stage their agreement which also contains its share of quarrels. The two men meet regularly and Nicolas Sarkozy tries to convince the Head of State on many subjects. From the yellow vests crisis to the management of the health situation of the coronavirus via government reshuffles, Nicolas Sarkozy seeks to influence the policy of Emmanuel Macron. Often without the expected success. But they always agree on one point ... Their common detestation of François Hollande.
Olivier Beaumont and Nathalie Schuck tell us behind the scenes of this facade friendship between the president and his predecessors, where personal interests and egos clash.
