Houellebecq speaks out: "I don't understand Macron. The West is in crisis, like its values."

It is one of the many provocations of the French writer, well known throughout Europe, in a long interview with Gennaro Sangiuliano, broadcast on TV7, the historic weekly of Tg1

Macron? "He's a character I don't understand , who doesn't seem to have clear convictions." This is one of the many provocations posed by Michel Houellebecq, a French writer well-known throughout Europe, in a long interview with Gennaro Sangiuliano, broadcast on TV7, the historic weekly news program of Tg1. Houellebecq addresses many issues, literary ones, from his admiration for Pasolini and the preparation of a poem he's working on, to the latest political and international events. The writer also denounces the loss of value of the electoral vote in favor of elites not legitimized by consensus .

"I don't like the appeals of writers I don't subscribe to, but the Gaza issue touches France very closely because we have the largest Muslim community in Europe but also the largest Jewish community." Michel Houellebecq declares himself a bitter enemy of 'political correctness,' which he says he has suffered from and calls "annoying."

Finally, borrowing Oswald Spengler's vision, the intellectual says he is convinced that the West is in decline, "not only from an economic point of view but also because of the weakness of its values".
