What does he say about his own background there?
Rien.
But he is vocal against anti-semitism (not that would be enough to become Jewish). But Bessis is a noted Tunisian Jewish family anyway, you should know that.
Her maternal grandfather (full name Mario Giacomo Eugenio Lumbroso) is an economist. The Lumbroso family is from Livorno, Tuscany, Italy.
