Since his break into politics after his election in the first constituency of the Somme on June 18, 2017, the “député insoumis” François Ruffin has presented a series of atypical features within the French political field. An activist-journalist for twenty years, Ruffin claims to merge his practices as a representative and committed reporter, opposing this way the routines of a political profession that he intends to subvert. However, it seems like the “député-reporter” practices as an elected representative a parliamentary trade whose daily modalities largely precede him, and contrast with some of his tendencies toward transgression. But when it turns out to be effective, this subversion takes the form of a representative performance which is akin to a desecration of politics: by minimizing on the one hand its sacred dimension, and on the other, by integrating into it a layman speech that is not supposed to be there.
