The first motion of censure against the government of Gabriel Attal, rejected without surprise, was debated Monday February 5 in the National Assembly.

Friends
.
“As the late Chandler Bing said with a lot of self-deprecation: it's not what you say, it's how you say it
,” declared the elected official, alluding to a famous character from the world famous series.

It actually came off the tongue of his roommate Joey, played by American actor Matt LeBlanc.
"Chandler, I'm scared"
In one episode of the series, Joey shares his apartment with a young woman, who completely redecorates the apartment, much to Joey's delight.
The latter is therefore mocked by Chandler, who says: “You are becoming a woman.”
Stung, Joey responds: “It's not what you said, it's the way you said it... Chandler, I'm scared.
I became a chick.”
