The Mediapart investigation site offers an evening event on Tuesday evening around the Patrick Poivre d'Arvor affair.

The media gives the floor to 20 women who have filed a complaint or testified in court on the facts of sexual assault and rape of which it accuses the former presenter of 8 p.m. of TF1.

They are 20 to speak Tuesday evening, including 18 with uncovered faces.

Some of these women testify publicly for the first time.

All of them testified in the context of the judicial inquiry or even filed a complaint against Patrick Poivre d'Arvor.

Eight of them for rape.

It was the Mediapart investigative media that managed to bring these 20 women together on the same set, for an event program that will be broadcast on Tuesday evening on its site.

The program, which will be accessible without a subscription to Mediapart, will begin at 7 p.m.

It is above all to collect the testimonies of these 20 women that Mediapart brought them together on the same stage.

Most of them are meeting for the first time, as explained by Valentine Oberti and Mathieu Magnaudeix, the two journalists who will lead the show.

These women who speak out come from different professional backgrounds: journalists, authors, shop assistants, librarians, teachers, business advisors.

They are between 28 and 63 years old.

An invitation declined by Patrick Poivre d'Arvor

Mediapart published the first five minutes of the show on these social networks on Monday evening.

Some will speak openly for the first time.
