Caustic Christophe Dietrich. In one of his last messages on his social networks, the mayor of Laigneville chose to pay none other than the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher. Just that. The reason for this joke: the recent controversy surrounding the order, by the tenant of the Luxembourg Palace, of a handmade armchair tailored to his size and build. Amount of the invoice: 34,000 euros.
“Little question: do the buttocks of a senator have as much value as that of a local elected official? “, falsely questions Christophe Dietrich. And then to present his own office with his own used armchairs. “I was offered to replace them for 200 euros and I refused,” continues the elected official. Because I felt that it was not, frankly, the priority.”
“We don’t live in the same world”
Since then, Gérard Larcher has made an act of public contrition. He admitted to having made a mistake with this controversy.
“Obviously, we don’t live in the same world,” comments the mayor of Laigneville. “I even believe that we have moved from the Fifth Republic to the Fourth Dimension.” And to play the credits of this cult TV series.
