The only candidate not to be invited to the debate organized this Wednesday evening at 8:45 p.m. on LCI between the other seven Parisian list leaders, Marcel Campion denounced during a press conference this Tuesday morning, his "update media gap ”.
Posing both as a victim of the media system and as "the only opponent of the current system", the leader of the Libenons Paris movement, candidate in the 18th arrondissement, said: "My program and my book * have been sent to all the press. No newspaper has mentioned it. And when a private television channel organizes a debate, we are excluded from it ”.
"Because you're the last in the class, are you being taken out of school?" "
Presenting himself as "someone from the people", the honorary president of the fairground unions in France said that he wrote to David Pujadas who will present the debate and also "Monday by bailiff" to Gilles Pélisson (Editor's note: Group CEO TF1 to which LCI belongs). If he claims not to have received a response, Marcel Campion announces, however, with an air of dissatisfaction: "For reasons of fairness, LCI will receive me this Wednesday at 3.30 pm as part of the program Le club de Roselyne Bachelot ”.

In the same way as "the reopening of the lanes on banks to automobile traffic during the week" which receives 56% of approvals.
