The few lines are explosive.
In his latest book, "France has not said its last word",
Éric Zemmour unveils the content of a telephone conversation with Emmanuel Macron, held in May 2020. The President of the Republic had made a 45-minute phone call to the CNews columnist, who had just been spit on in the street.
