Fans of

Touche Pas à Mon Poste

had (perhaps) a bad surprise this Wednesday: the host of the show, Cyril Hanouna, has indeed announced that two of his columnists, Delphine Wespiser and Bernard Montiel, will be dismissed. from the show until the end of the election.

The reason ?

Their respective support for Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, the two candidates vying for the second round of the presidential election.

"For you it can be a tragedy, for me it's rather good news", launched Cyril Hanouna, hilarious, before continuing more seriously: "As a reminder, we are subject to a strict speaking time between Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron.

And everything has been put in place to achieve this objective by Friday evening.

We do calculations and everything.

And Delphine and Bernard gave their opinion.

We know that Bernard Montiel is spokesperson for the Elysée.

And Delphine also gave her opinion.

So the chain advises us to dismiss them until the second round ”.

“Sad” for democracy

A decision that seems to have surprised the two interested parties, who did not expect to be literally excluded from the C8 show.

“I am not a spokesperson for the government, I am not a spokesperson for Emmanuel Macron, everyone understood that.

Nor am I a spokesperson for Marine Le Pen.

I am just a spokesperson for the French who were unhappy and disappointed with this five-year term.

To be punished because of that, I find that it is very very very sad for democracy, ”launched Delphine Wespiser, who had previously supported the candidate of the National Rally, on the air.

For his part, Bernard Montiel denied having wanted to publicly support the policy of the outgoing president.

“I find it curious to be condemned because of his friendships.

I have been friends with the Macrons for a very long time, long before the presidential election (…) They are friends whom I adore, whom I deeply love and whom I respect.

Now on this show I never proselytized.

You can have friends and not always agree,” he explained.

Cyril Hanouna has in any case specified that the two columnists will be able to resume their place on the set of
