Bernard Montiel, invited to the state dinner at the Royal Palace of Morocco alongside the Macrons, made a spicy point. The columnist mentioned “taxpayer” money and took the opportunity to send a message to the “jealous”…
Did you know? Columnist Bernard Montiel was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and spent part of his childhood there before his family, frightened by the Algerian war, headed for France. It was therefore with pride that he attended the state dinner at the Royal Palace of Morocco on October 30, alongside Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron as well as other French celebrities…

“I am very happy and proud to have been invited to my country of birth by His Majesty the King of Morocco“, said Bernard Montiel on his Twitter account, in the caption of a photo where he posed all smiles. While Emmanuel Macron went to Rabat for a state trip to Morocco, he was accompanied by a delegation of 120 people.
In addition to the President of the Republic and his wife, Gérard Darmon, Jamel Debbouze, the judoka Teddy Riner, the footballer Achraf Hakimi, the philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy and his wife Arielle Dombasle, the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, Jack Lang , the boxer Sofiane Oumiha, the comedian Yassine Belattar, the Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti, the Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau, as well as Bernard Montiel, were there.
Bernard Montiel makes a scathing clarification: “For the taxpayer…“
However, the chronicler of Don’t Touch My Post wanted to make a clarification: “Oh cent for the French taxpayer!“. The host therefore did not use French tax money to go to this official event in his country of birth. And he did not hold back from throwing a dig at possible detractors: “I say this for the haters, jealous and frustrated“.”I was not part of the French delegation but that of His Majesty“, he even added, insisting on the fact that he was invited by the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI.
Bernard Montiel has always displayed his attachment to his country of birth. A few months ago, at the microphone of RFM, this host born to a Spanish mother revealed that he felt “Moroccan a third, Spanish another third and the other third obviously French“. Today he lives in a beautiful villa in the South of France.
