The tone is mounted between the journalist of the program Quotidien Paul Larrouturou and the mayor of Chartres, Jean-Pierre Gorges, Thursday, November 22. The reporter tried to get answers from the elected on a sensitive file of local politics. In vain.
While Daily was returning this Thursday, November 22 on the tensions between journalists and yellow jackets, the chronicler of the show, Paul Larrouturou found himself at the heart of a heated exchange with a local elected.
As Télé-Loisirs reports, a sharp altercation pitted the journalist against Jean-Pierre Gorges, Mayor of Chartres (Eure-et-Loir), about the refusal of the edile to host a logistics platform and its 2,000 jobs potential, a choice that divides the inhabitants of the city.
"Things are going to happen to you"
The mayor spoke about immigration to justify his choice. "At the moment, we have a migrant problem. We will put businesses like that, and we will bring in migrants. What are we going to create? We will destabilize the territory, " said the elected in an interview relayed by Daily .

Asked by TMC's reporter on the subject, Jean-Pierre Gorges refused to answer questions. He therefore decided to wait for the exit of the city council to request an interview. "Twenty seconds please. Let me ask you a question, " asks Paul Larrouturou. "Leave me alone, sir, because things are going to happen to you , " said the elector before throwing a door in the chronicler's face.
Physical threats
Paul Larrouturou continued to follow Jean-Pierre Gorges on the parking lot to try to get his interview, without success. "Can we have more information? Why did you refuse those 2,000 jobs? And why did you try to smash the door on me seriously? "He asks the elected, obviously exasperated.
On leaving the city council of Chartres, @PaulLarrouturou tried to question Jean-Pierre Gorges about his decision and his comments.
