The broadcast on Friday of a report by M6 on lavish clandestine dinners in Paris sparked a heated controversy last weekend, one of the organizers, identified as Pierre-Jean Chalençon, claiming to have
"dined in the week in 2/3 underground restaurants ”
where he would have met
“ ministers ”
.
Since then, Pierre-Jean Chalençon has returned to his statements, explaining that he wanted to make
"humor".
