"They did not even do the minimum work, that is to compare bills on the same benefits. It's very easy, just compare the bills of Mr. Macron, Mr. Hamon, Mr. Fillon and mine, and you know immediately how much are worth it. Because there is a market price. It's not worth talking all the time about the market and not referring to it when, by chance, it serves something. "
