Its original concept was both simple and bold: initiating a crusade against brain trusts, and interviewing, without double-talk or time limit, the women and the men who are running for the state’s highest rank – or have for a time dreamt of it. François Bayrou, Jean-Marie Le Pen, José Bové, Nicolas Hulot, Clémentine Autain, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and Dominique Voynet, among others, accepted to play the game and opened up to the authors during surprising and intimate interviews. The show goes on at www.politicshow.net Specialised in languages and new technologies, Estelle and Jean Véronis are, respectively, Senior Lecturer and Lecturer at the University of Provence. Nicolas Voisin is a blog reporter. Keen on journalism and politics, he is the founder of the PoliTIC’ Show web TV and Le Monde Citoyen. He is a regular collaborator to the Freemen network and writes a daily column on Nuesblog.
