Wow… Props for the most imaginative conspiracy theory ever…

Be careful with your facts though. Mitterrand was not trying to get re-elected in 1980, he was trying to get elected.
And he got elected, in great part thanks to the youth vote and the support of many “young” personalities, Balavoine included (the confrontation taking place about a year before the election, Mitterrand managed to have many people who first opposed him to join him as a “lesser of two evils”, same thing with Coluche for example).

Then, Balavoine died 6 years later, 6 years during which he never really was a threat for the government, on the contrary, he kinda was on its side.

And his death is quite well documented.

It doesn’t make sense why Mitterrand would want him dead, when he was so useful to him.
Also, it doesn’t add up, seeing all the circumstances of the accident, it had to be an accident. There are many much easier, cheaper, not likely to create a diplomatic incident ways to get rid of somebody…

thanks for the correction about election years but ahhh! you underestimate the endurance, pettiness, deviousness and budget of politicians.

oh and rememeber how powerful government can be over the media. the “accident” was in africa. who else was present? the circumstances could be fictional. how often does the media LIE for politicians???? answer: a lot. sure there are more convenient ways to get rid of someone but waiting for the perfect “faraway” oopportunity is an evil politician’s forte.

In French we have a saying “pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué?”, in other words, why go through all the trouble, when you can do it in a so much easier way…
If you tell me “Coluche was assassinated” I’ll say “Ok, mayyybe…” but Balavoine… check the facts about the accident, it just doesn’t make sense that it’s an assassination (Mitterrand was powerful, but not powerful enough to raise sandstorms when he felt like for starters)

Well like mister Beregovoy , commited suicide by shooting 2 bullets in his head

calimero, you get it! that’s exactly what i mean. stories are made up to turn blame away from the guilty.

when stories are fabricated, a sandstorm was the perfect reason for an accident.

colouche was definitely murdered.

hey i TOLD YOU i was a conspiracy theorist!

So, if Coluche and Balavoine were murdered, why don’t they kill the Guignols ??? :p
Balavoine was not involved in any action (political or other) against the government, Coluche wanted to present himself at the president election, but he could not, not enough majors gave him a voice (500 are needed to participate to the election).
Chirac and Giscard were most dangerous to Mitterand than Coluche and Balavoine, the first because it was it’s greatest opponent, the second because he has known the double life and the hidden daughter of Mitterand and because he spoke about it (without reveal it) on TV.
Beregovoy was not dangerous to Mitterand but to people working around Mitterand and he was involved by them in a bad business which has damaged his reputation.

omfg this is cool1
