For me, this would be hypocrisy (someone saying that all is ok when it's not), and this isn't needed.to discuss the situation. I'm not saying he is hypocritical, but that the hypocrisy he present as the "right" way to discuss the situation isn't needed.

However, english is not my native language : it's totally possible that i used the wrong word, or that my sentence wasn't clear enough (but if hypocrisy isn't the right word for "someone saying that all is ok when it's not" i would like to know the right one).

I hope it's more clear now.

I thought it might be something like that! The word you’re looking for is “sarcasm.”

Hypocrisy is when somebody says “Everybody should do X” while they don’t do X themselves. Politicians are often accused of this.

I see, in French we can use hypocrisy for this, but we can also use it in a more larger meaning, which probably caused the confusion here. I guess it's a kind of faux-ami in this situation.  Anyway, thanks for the explanation, and sorry for the off-topic.
