Summary :

Their mutual respect is an anomaly in a political world at daggers drawn, where low blows are legion.

Alain Juppé and Jacques Chirac have supported each other for nearly forty years.

Their

"singular friendship"

, as Alain Juppé describes it in "Mon Chirac", allowed them to climb together the stages of an eventful political life, to reach the highest level of the State in 1995. The former Prime Minister , now a member of the Constitutional Council, today pays a melancholy tribute to his mentor, who died on September 26, 2019 at the age of 86.

In this second episode, Code source looks back on Alain Juppé's unbounded loyalty, from his conviction in the case of fictitious jobs at the City of Paris to the last moments of Jacques Chirac.
