Guest of the program “Le Figaro la nuit”, the writer and columnist of “Figaro Magazine” calls himself “ecological” and regrets that there is a cleavage on this essential question.


What does Frédéric Beigbeder really think?

The provocative dandy confided in Thibaut Gauthier at length on the show “Le Figaro la nuit”.

During his stroll in Paris, the writer, who has just published

Confessions of a slightly overwhelmed heterosexual

(Albin Michel), explains that he attaches great importance to ecology.

I'm green because I think that's the real concern.

It's neither left nor right.

I find it a pity that ecology is taken over by

the Nupes”, points out

the columnist of Figaro Magazine

, admitting to having voted for Yannick Jadot during the last presidential election.

"I don't think I'm reactive"

In reality, ecology

is more of a conservative idea

.

I don't see why ecology is picked up by the extreme left.

That does not make sense.

It is a superior idea to this cleavage.

The idea being: let's save the planet, let's save the landscapes, let's save what can still be saved before it's too late

", launches Frédéric Beigbeder who is thinking of creating an "ecological-conservative" party of which he would be the president. .

The writer also returned to one of the criticisms that made him: once a left-wing libertarian, would he have become reactionary?

"

I don't think I'm reactionary.

I am more for safeguarding what is beautiful, certain values, an art of living.

There are lots of subjects where I am libertarian.

As we get older, we don't become right wing, we become nostalgic.

The past embellishes with time.

It's not me who says it, it's Proust.
