This Friday, June 14, the famous YouTuber Squeezie published an open letter on his Instagram account, in order to call on his subscribers to mobilize against the extreme right and their ideas" in the next legislative elections. In the evening, Jordan Bardella responded to him with a touch of irony.

This is a sequence that made many Internet users react this Friday, June 14. With no less than 19 million subscribers on YouTube, Squeezie is one of the best-known personalities in the internet world and his influence on his young community is no exception. is more to prove. Yesterday, on his Instagram profile, he posted a long message addressed to his community in view of the legislative elections.

"I never wanted to talk to you about politics and get into the party game, because everyone is the master of their convictions and I don't want to let mine influence yours", begins the 28-year-old videographer. "But I think that firmly opposing an extreme ideology that advocates hatred and discrimination goes beyond any political position". In this speech, the influencer warns against "a drastic rise of the extreme right"  and calls on his community to come to the polls.

"I am mobilizing today against the extreme right"

Squeezie then takes up the elements of the National Rally program one by one. "The RN is a party that wants to help people in poverty, those who are fed up: so why did they vote in the Assembly against the ;increase in the minimum wage ?" s’he asks. “For all these reasons, among others, I am mobilizing today against the extreme right and their ideas”. This Saturday morning, only 18 hours after its publication, this eight-page open letter already has 1.6 million likes.

A surprising message from Squeezie who had until now always avoided taking political positions. In recent days, many Internet users have rightly criticized the most followed YouTubers and influencers for not speaking publicly about the early legislative elections. Under this publication, the numerous comments congratulating or thanking the YouTuber were not long in coming. However, another part of its subscribers say they are "disappointed" and count "unsubscribe" of the chain.

Bardella answers him

Just a few hours after the publication of this message, Jordan Bardella did not fail to react, first live on the airwaves of BFMTV. "We must respect everyone's choice and Squeezie has every right to position herself. But above all we must respect the French who have a lot of purchasing power problems and who are not lucky enough to benefit from very significant income. Squeezie does not want to increase purchasing power? He does not want to restore security? He does not want to protect our borders? Because it’ is, I believe, what a majority of French people want" concludes the president of the National Rally.

A little later in the evening, Jordan Bardella responded to Squeezie again, in turn using the format of the open letter, again eight pages long. The MEP deplores that "multimillionaires responding to the very noble profession of influencer engage “apolitically” against millions of French people, by copying/pasting the arguments as crude as they are mendacious from La France insoumise."

"We are witnessing in France the rise of a dangerous extreme left, which is rebelling against institutions, which is calling for the police to be disarmed , which blocks our universities and tags our monuments, which incites riots and destruction as in June 2023 after the death of Nahel. < em>So yes, I am very proud to chair a popular, patriotic party, which loves our culture, our landscapes and our French values, he concludes.
