REACTION
Persona non grata. Jean-Luc Mélenchon said on his blog that the journalists of Quotidien , the show of TMC, will no longer be accredited to attend the public events of La France rebellious. The deputy of Bouches-du-Rhone believes that it is the images broadcast by the teams of Yann Barthès that led to the establishment of a "political trial" against him.
"Jean-Luc Mélenchon is not obliged to love the dailies who follow him, but that does not seem absolutely defensible," reacted Thursday at the microphone of Philippe Vandel in Culture Media on Europe 1, political journalist Karim Rissouli , at the controls of C policy on France 5.
"If we start to ban TF1 group channels ..."
Invited a little earlier by Philippe Vandel, the representative of France rebellious, Antoine Leaument, defended the position of his party recalling that the Elysee did not accredit the channel RT Today, funded by the Kremlin. An irrelevant comparison for Karim Rissouli. "It's a comparison that 'has no place to be,' he sweeps.
" Daily , it's TMC, it's a channel of the TF1 group," he recalls. "If we start to ban the channels of the TF1 group meetings, press conferences of political parties ... it seems to me not defensible," insists the journalist.
The prosecution requested Friday three months suspended sentence against Jean-Luc Mélenchon, prosecuted for "acts of intimidation against a magistrate and a depositary of public authority, rebellion and provocation", following the eventful search of October 2018 at the headquarters of his party. The judgment was reserved on 9 December.
