Gilles-William Goldnadel is a lawyer and essayist. Each week, he deciphers the news for FigaroVox. His latest book Neuroses media. The world has become a mob has appeared at Plon.
Without wanting to infringe on the secrecy of correspondence which I like everyone else, I wanted to share with you the content of the letters that I wanted to send to people who would like to pass for nice and who often succeed, at least in the virtual world of the media left.

Goldnadel: "It is time for this sententious left which was always wrong to apply its lessons to itself"
I wrote the first of my open letters to former President Obama, a real darling of the World and of the New York Times together, and whose reading of the memoirs that it seems we are tearing off inspired me with feelings for the less mixed up, touching on the portrait that he believed he had to make of our Sarkozy: “
Mr. President and, if I dare, dear Barack, I know that right-wing political figures can be laughed at with impunity.
The hated President of the United States until January is the living witness.
Before him Charles de Gaulle, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher can no longer testify to the way in which they were mistreated, history has however largely done them justice.
But all the same, you have a funny way of treating Nicolas Sarkozy. I quote you:
“
Sarkozy was all in emotional outbursts and hyperbolic words.
With his dark skin, his expressive features, vaguely Mediterranean (his father was Hungarian, his maternal grandfather a Greek Jew), and short (he was about 1.66 m tall but wore heels to grow taller), we would have said a character taken from a Toulouse-Lautrec painting.
Discussions with Sarkozy were by turns amusing and exasperating, his movements perpetual, his chest bulging like that of a dwarf rooster
”.
Still stunned by the particular way in which the right-wing man Sarkozy was treated, I sent my second public letter to the current representative of the Syndicat de la Magistrature
Apart from the fact that you are much more delicate in your "A Promised Land" with the Ottoman Sultan Erdogan, whom you find "cordial" and "attached to democracy"! that towards the quarter of a little Greek Jew, my imagination is powerless to describe the reactions of your New York Times or of my World, if by extraordinary the former French president had ventured to mock your physique to the point of holding you for cripple while emphasizing your ethnico-religious origins.
Very respectfully yours
. ”.
Still stunned by the particular way in which the right-wing man Sarkozy was treated, I sent my second public letter to the current representative of the Syndicat de la Magistrature.
This union has in fact believed it necessary to send a letter to the Superior Council of the Magistracy on 20 November to denounce "
a form of unacceptable and intolerable pressure
" on the examining magistrates from the former president currently being prosecuted.
The latter, in his sole capacity as a litigant, and after his main accuser Takkiedine returned to his accusations concerning him in the Libyan case, said all the harm he thought of this procedure carried out against him and the mistrust inspired by the prosecuting magistrates.

Sarkozy and the judges or the revenge of the Count of Monte-Cristo
It is therefore in this framework devoid of any special amenities that the magistrates' union believed it to “
undermine the independence of investigating judges specializing in economic and financial matters
”.
Grabbing my pen after having dipped it in ink, I agree, quite annoyed, I wrote to the union representative and magistrate this passage which I reproduce a little watered down: "
I may well know that indecency and Role reversal was in the DNA of the far left, I had no idea you could find the audacity to bring it up again in matters of judicial independence.
We are in no way obliged to appreciate Nicolas Sarkozy.
Neither the man nor his style.
Nor the way in which he exercised power.
No one is forced to grant him the good Lord without confession.
For my part, I have never met our creator and the confidences I have received from my clients who are not all stamped saints, I keep them for myself. But the magistrates' union that you represent was the last organization which could afford to write to the Superior Council of the Magistracy concerning the independence of judges in general and Nicolas Sarkozy in particular. I am not in the worst position to have to remind you of what you seem to have oddly forgotten.
My last very open letter was sent as a poste restante to a certain Yann (...) who is responsible for the communication of the house "Décathlon"
On your Wall of Cons, which will be a milestone in the history of the political and ideological dependence of the judiciary that you represent, you have punished Nicolas Sarkozy in the midst of political figures that you hate and relatives of murdered victims. Nicolas Sarkozy and certain other political figures pinned on your union panel, which I have the honor to represent, are perfectly right not to feel safe, if, by a disastrous coincidence, they found themselves in the investigation cabinet or prosecuted by magistrates belonging to your organization, even if they have absolutely nothing to reproach themselves with.
That you could in these circumstances, and although your predecessor was condemned by a judgment against which he provided himself, to dare to want to give a lesson of independence to one of your pinned, represents an unattainable achievement on the scale of daring. Please believe my really impressed feelings

Hervé Lehman: "After the retraction of Ziad Takkiedine, the already very fragile file collapses"
My last very open letter was sent in poste restante to a certain Yann, whose surname I do not know, but whom I know is responsible for the communication of the house "Décathlon" which markets, as everyone knows, articles intended for athletes. or to those who would like to try to preserve the form like the author of these lines.
It was under these conditions that I was led to meet the aforementioned who tweeted on November 20 at 6:04 pm:
“
Hello, indeed we have removed our advertisements from C News at the end of the year.
Have a good day, Yann.
"
I reproduce below for my readers part of the tweet that I was led to send when I understood that Decathlon had yielded to the pressures of these Sleeping Giants who are supposed to hunt down all the "
hate speech
" according to the high idea that these low-ceiling leftist activists hate each other.
When, after the end of the year celebrations and the senseless boycott of a TV (...) you will make the accounts of the athletic hijabs and aquatic burkinis that you sell ...
“
Dearest Yann from Decathlon, you might soon regret your message.
When, after the end of the year celebrations and the senseless boycott of a TV with no freedom to express, you will make the accounts of the athletic hijabs and aquatic burkinis that you sell and the sneakers that will remain on your arms , it could be that the Decathlon runner knows the fate of that of the battle of Marathon.
Good evening.
".
Nothing like a nice letter to start your Monday.
