Overview
- Souchon told RTL he does not believe voters would choose the Rassemblement National and quipped that he would move to Switzerland if they did.
- He warned that if a president from the RN were elected, there would be a revolution.
- RN MEP Matthieu Valet called the comment disrespectful and said the singer should either enter politics or focus on his music.
- Journalist Sébastien Lignier argued the remark insults part of Souchon’s own audience and said promotional interviews are not the place for political broadsides.
- Le Journal du Dimanche noted RN figure Sébastien Chenu also condemned the stance as insulting, and coverage placed Souchon’s comments alongside past vows by other artists to leave France if the far right wins.
