Anne Sinclair receives Elisabeth and Robert Badinter on the occasion of the release of their book "Condorcet, an intellectual in politics" to evoke the temptations of politics for the intellectual, the maintenance of the convictions of the intellectual in front of the realities, the lack of reaction of Condorcet and the other deputies during the massacres of September 1792

Elisabeth Badinter evokes the two uses of the Library for researchers: the work and reading of a book in a library as in "the mother’s womb" being isolated from the rest of the world in silence and concentration, access to a rare work that can be photocopied or copied.
Anne Sinclair receives Elisabeth and Robert Badinter on the occasion of the release of their book "Condorcet, an intellectual in politics" and asks Robert Badinter if Condorcet could not return to the Pantheon and what they think of the celebrations of the bicentenary of the French Revolution. For Robert Badinter, "the real Pantheon is the collective memory", it is there that they wish -with his wife- that he live, in the absence of material remains to deposit. For him the Revolution is over, but what must be commemorated is the transition from the Old regime to the sovereignty of the People and Human Rights.
Elisabeth Badinter reacts to the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States, "Since the impossible becomes possible, what can happen in France?" and wonders if a far-right president could be elected in France with all its repercussions.

"Being an actress is hard". Interviewed by Patrick Poivre d'Arvor on the occasion of the presentation of the film "Vatel" which he shares the poster with Uma Thurman, Gérard DEPARDIEU speaks about the role she plays "a mistress of the king". He says he finds very beautiful "the look on women, in this film, with power".
Belgian comic book author Hergé is featured in a retrospective dedicated to him at the Grand Palais in Paris. Invited in the morning of France Inter, Benoît Peeters, screenwriter, publisher and biographer of Hergé, returns to the polemics around the album "Tintin au Congo", accused of racism and colonialism. For the guest it is an exceptional document on colonialism and the colonial mentality of the time. In illustration a radio archive is broadcast, where Hergé explains to Jacques Chancel that in 1920 he was racist and anti-communist, that everyone was anti-Bolshevik and colonialist, but that he then evolved over time ("Radioscopy" of 09/01/1979).
On the set of the film "Loulou" by Maurice Pialat, Gérard DEPARDIEU speaks about the importance of sexuality in cinema and the absence of actresses with sex appeal: "there are few women who have sex appeal in cinema, it’s a pity... I’m not at all for the woman object... but it’s important sex."
Abbé Pierre launched an appeal for solidarity for the creation of a food bank for the most disadvantaged. With passion, he challenged the powerful "you have more blood on your unconscious hands than the desperate will ever have", and blamed the "good conscience" of the rich. He deplores the cruel social inequalities that persist in the world and in France. "The awakening of the poor broke the powerlessness of the powerful".
The Emmaus Foundation presented a report on housing in the great amphitheatre of the Sorbonne. "It’s war": Abbé Pierre exhorts us to do everything to win this battle against poor housing.
During his speech on February 1, 2004, Abbé Pierre pleaded for the requisition of empty housing and the construction of social housing for the poor. "Woe to us, happy people, woe to the children of happy people". It is with virulence and intransigence that he challenges the "rich" and criticizes their selfishness. "They want first to be served their pleasure to live before others are given the means to live". He condemns the surrender of power to those who ignore fraternity.
Asked about immigration to France, Abbé PIERRE recalls that it was the French bosses who were recruiting workers, especially in the Maghreb, to rebuild the country after the war. Faced with the comments of the far right, which finds that there are too many immigrants in France, we must not forget that: "It is not them who came to occupy France with weapons. We have been occupied their country." These are the same populations, under French colonial rule, who were enlisted to fight under the French flag during the great conflicts of the 20th century. Tens of thousands of them died for France. These historical facts must not be forgotten for the ecclesiastic.
Abbé Pierre makes a statement before his intervention in the National Assembly where the SRU (Solidarity and Urban Renewal) law on social housing is to be debated.

50 years after his 1954 appeal, Abbé Pierre renewed his message of solidarity on the Place du Trocadéro. "France, one of the 6 richest countries in the world. She can..."

He was subsequently received at the Elysée by President Jacques Chirac, before going to meet the families waiting for a relocation on the Esplanade des Invalides. With malice, he slips that the president having told him of empty premises belonging to the state, he immediately asked for the address to go squat them.
