on France 2, without being able to say goodbye to viewers.
Failing to do so at the end of the JT, she thanked them for their loyalty via her Instagram account.
Invited on France Inter this Monday morning, Lauren Guimier, the news director of France Televisions, spoke about this hasty departure, acknowledging that everything happened "very quickly".
“I'm used to continuous news and unforeseen things.
I was served when I arrived, he explains.
Marie-Sophie was not surprised by this decision.
She had mentioned it herself when we saw each other for the first and last time.
"
"I think she understood very quickly the codes of the company she marries"
According to him, the priority was not to disturb the JT teams.
“The challenge was first of all that the teams preparing for the
1:00 pm
were not more disturbed than that, that they were not plunged, as often happens in this kind of situation, in weeks of uncertainty.
Everyone would have commented on who would replace her, ”he says, adding that the choice of his replacement was taken in four days.
Despite this haste, Laurent Guimier believes he "left in cordial terms and without any animosity" with Marie-Sophie Lacarrau.

», Asks the journalist of France Inter.
" It's normal !
In this case, I think that she understood very quickly the codes of the company which she marries ”, answers Laurent Guimier.
