It didn't take her long to get back on her feet, at the heart of a continuous news channel.

Less than two months after the announcement of her surprise departure from BFMTV, of which she had been a leading figure for fifteen years, Ruth Elkrief arrives at LCI, announces Le Figaro this Tuesday, March 30.

Information that we are able to confirm.

The 60-year-old political journalist, whose bosses of BFMTV had praised the "remarkable journey" in an email addressed to the editorial staff in early February, therefore chose to return to the TF1 group where she had started on the air.

A return to the fold for the one who had entered the front page in 1987 before participating in the creation of LCI in 1994 and presenting the "Grand Journal", a daily alongside David Pujadas.

A daily meeting at the start of the school year

A few months before the scheduled date of the regional elections and the 2022 presidential election, Ruth Elkrief will take up her quarters in May to strengthen the channel's signature team.

Editorialist and advisor to management, she will also host a daily meeting at the start of the school year.

Enough to allow LCI, "to be even more ambitious in the treatment of political news and in the realization of major political events on the air".

“She has an unusual political nose and over the years she has forged a relationship of trust with political figures on the left and on the right.

Everyone recognizes his know-how, professionalism and great tenacity, ”Fabien Namias, deputy managing director of the news channel, told Figaro.

A new step, therefore, for this professional who had been excluded from the "19 Hours" of BFMTV because of the poor audiences of the section.

Relegated on Saturday at 1 p.m. for a large weekly interview, the journalist had stood out especially during a face-to-face meeting with Nicolas Sarkozy or Gérald Darmanin.

But she had not appeared on the channel of the group Altice since January.
