Europe 1 pays tribute to him.
Voice of Europe 1 for 30 years, journalist Emmanuel Faux died this Saturday.
Son of the lawyer Gisèle Halimi, he joined the station in 1987, as a correspondent in Moscow, then in Jerusalem.
He also presented the newspapers in most of the news sections of Europe 1. He had replaced Dominique Souchier at the head of "It happened tomorrow" after the latter's departure.
"Strength of the event, the magic of the live, the strength of the story, the magic of discovery. I experienced all these joys here in complete freedom, for 30 years. And this freedom is also the magic of Europe 1, of which you, the listener, are the demanding witnesses. Thank you and above all continue to be at the rendezvous of this magic", declared Emmanuel Faux when he left Europe 1 in 2017.
“A multi-talented journalist”
Passionate about current affairs, he has written several books, including
The Right Hand of God, an investigation of François Mitterrand and the far right
,
Feathers in the Shadows, the Negroes of Politicians
and
The Yasser Arafat Affair.
The reactions multiplied on social networks after the announcement of his death.
“He was a great voice from Europe1. A multi-talented journalist, a man of immense culture and a benevolent colleague. Great sadness, very great sadness …”, wrote Lionel Gougelot in particular.
