Georges-Louis Bouchez took part in a rare exercise on Martin Buxant’s new programme, the podcast “Face B”. Far from political jousting and studio punchlines, he opened up for nearly an hour in an intimate format, revealing the person behind the MR President in a more personal light.
Throughout the conversation, our President looks back on his childhood and family background, on school and the authority figures who shaped him, but also on the early humiliations and wounds that forge character. He talks about his relationship with money and power, the encounters that change a life, the moment ambition is born and, sometimes, the moment things tip over.
Georges-Louis Bouchez also speaks about personal sacrifices, regrets, and the loneliness of the decision-maker. He reaffirms his deep convictions, his vision of liberalism, and even his fears: fear of failure, of emptiness, of not living up to what citizens expect.
An episode worth listening to, to understand not only the politician but also the human being who carries our liberal project every day.
