The Moment of Truth | Antenne 2 | June 12, 1990
François-Henri de Virieu interviews Bernard Tapie, businessman, president of Olympique de Marseille, and member of parliament for Bouches-du-Rhône.
Questions are posed by Alain Duhamel, Jean-Marie Colombani, and Albert Du Roy; Geneviève Moll relays questions from viewers.
The topics discussed during the program are as follows:
He does not consider himself a socialist and is unsure whether he is left-wing, believing it is currently difficult to distinguish between the right and the left. He reiterates that he registered under the banner of the "presidential majority."
Throughout the program, he elaborates on his political views and analyzes the political crisis in France.
He gives his definition of the National Front (using the metaphor of a "sweeper car"), then outlines his method for curbing its influence. He guarantees that his method will reduce the National Front's support by 10% within 18 months. He advocates for the creation of a "Citizens' Forum." He proposes exerting influence on political parties so that they truly respond to the needs of the people.
According to him, the French need to reclaim their identity at a time when Europe is being built, and he deplores the fact that the French flag and patriotism have been appropriated by Jean-Marie Le Pen.
He claims to have hired about thirty disabled people at the Bernard Tapie Group since making this commitment on the TF1 program "Plus fort la vie" (Stronger Life).
He explains why he rarely attends sessions at the National Assembly, despite holding a seat as a member of parliament for the Bouches-du-Rhône department.
While deploring the public's racist attitude towards Joseph-Antoine Bell, he explains that it is also linked to the negative image Bell constantly projects of Olympique de Marseille (OM).
He defends himself against the accusation that he replaced volunteerism with business dealings when he took over OM. He believes it is necessary to break with the traditional association structure of football clubs; he posits financial investment as a prerequisite for OM to become a major European team. He admits to having personally contributed 100 million francs to the club.
He explains the reasons that led him to approach Michel Charasse, Minister of the Budget, regarding the tax status of professional players, tax audits of clubs and the League, and personal enrichment.
He explains why he does not wish to run for ministerial or presidential office. On this occasion, he admits that he does not appreciate being under the thumb of a boss. He expresses regional ambitions.
He explains his fight against inequality, despite being a billionaire, and takes the opportunity to recall his working-class origins.
He justifies the layoffs in the companies he acquires, claiming that he enabled the hiring of more employees once the companies were turned around.
He supports a wealth tax.
He emphasizes France's competitiveness, which is why he opposes taxes on capital gains from stocks and real estate, and promotes the consumption of French products.
He stresses the rights and responsibilities of immigrants.
He welcomes European integration, while remaining wary of a powerful, reunified Germany.
He considers the public/private distinction on television pointless.
He explains the strike at his cookware factory in Tournus.
