Overview
- Le Parisien reports that Éric Dupond-Moretti and Christian Estrosi confirm a heated exchange on October 22 at La Petite Maison in Nice after the account first appeared in Le Canard enchaîné.
- The weekly’s version, relayed by La Dépêche, described traded insults, a threat by Estrosi, a proposed fight outside by Dupond-Moretti, and an “OQTF” quip as Estrosi left.
- Contacted by Le Parisien, the restaurant’s manager downplayed the scene, calling it a minor dispute between long-acquainted figures.
- Dupond-Moretti said Estrosi approached his table to provoke him, while Estrosi acknowledged the clash but rejected having called him an “intermittent du spectacle,” saying he meant he was better as an intermittent than in politics.
- The CGT Spectacle criticized the reported remark about intermittents of the entertainment industry, and no legal action or official complaints were reported.
