PARIS The victory of the Italians Måneskin and the defeat of the french Barbara Pravi even makes the Quai d’Orsay: «It is the deontology commission that must resolve the question – says the foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian -. If there is a need to undergo tests, they will do the tests ». The position taken by the head of French diplomacy may appear a bit disproportionate, and it makes us understand how much the Rotterdam evening did not go down to so many French.

France believed in it to the last, “That’s it ”by Barbara Pravi it seemed there perfect song to win and everything was ready for i celebrations, also the documentary on the new Piaf which went on the air anyway: after the announcement of the victory of the Moonlight the connection with Rotterdam was closed and the public channel France 2 immediately aired history of the second classified. Shortly before one in the morning the president Emmanuel Macron wrote a message on Twitter: «Thanks to Barbara Pravi for accomplishing this crazy dream. The crazy dream of a black-eyed girl. The crazy dream to do shine France at Eurovision. Tonight, it is also the crazy dream of being able to vibrate together again, as Europeans ».
–
Except that, away from the TV, the evening had just begun. The image of the singer of the Moonlight that bring your face closer at the table is spread a bit as a joke on Twitter, e retweeted immediately especially from French users. At first joking, then “Paris Match”takes theory seriously (a hoax) of the live cocaine snort and spreads the news that the organizers are considering one squalifica per i Måneskin, in which case the victory would go to French candidate.
–
At that point it joke becomes less sympathetic, at a press conference Damiano dei Måneskin he must deny to have taken the way, «it’s not trueplease don’t say it. ‘ Except that by now many French accounts are unleashed, and many are asking for a drug test. In the age of greatest susceptibility, no one can think of that accuse someone of taking drugs live can be unpleasant. The “sex & drugs & rock’n’roll” stereotype is irresistible, and would have the credit for give back to France a victory it seemed acquired. On the other hand it comes reversed the burden of proof: the accusers don’t even think about it prove the blame of the person in question, is theaccused which suddenly is called to excuse himself and indeed Damiano offers himself to do the test per dispel any doubts.

Eurovision is a game, sure, and it show it also feeds on the climate from Games without Frontiers, the national rivalries are part of the fun, God forbid, and it is obvious that the Italians are doubly happy: Why won, and why they won by beating their French cousins. But it is scorn of many French for the second place it seems a bit excessive, as are the fervent tweets of the star Cyril Hanouna, the most famous, paid and followed animator of French TV, starring a few weeks ago on a cover in the magazine of «Le Monde».
–
Hanouna is a powerhouse also because he has one thing that all politicians envy him, namely the ability to get in touch con i common French, a type of popular tribune sometimes judged excessive, but still a key character to understand the moods of the France. Cyril Hanouna attends the Elysée, yes exchange sms with the president Macron and it’s friend of the first lady Brigitte, and does not hesitate to assert this privileged relationship also in the Måneskin affair.
–
Night tweet: «If it were confirmed that the Italian candidate committed this gesture (the cocaine trail, ed), it really takes one squalification. We await the conclusions of the investigation! But if that’s true, disqualify! If that’s the case France must win! I appeal to French TV, Eurovision and Emmanuel Macron ». To be a game, He has gone a little too far. As Macron says, “it was nice to vibrate together, as Europeans”, but it would also have been nice, for some of his compatriots, show that you know how to lose.
