The members of La France insoumise will not be returning to the “Touche pas à mon poste” set anytime soon.
Not because they will refuse the invitations that will be made to them – Jean-Luc Mélenchon himself assured that he does not want to boycott the show – but because their presence will no longer be requested.
Friday evening, Cyril Hanouna in person decided: “
Until further notice, LFI is no longer invited to the set.
»
The conflict keeps on reversing.
Initially, while the rebellious deputy Louis Boyard mentioned Vincent Bolloré, owner of Canal+ and the C8 channel, during the program, the latter was violently taken to task by the host who did not hesitate to throw him insults.
The sequence arouses indignation, and the young elected announces to file a complaint.
Cyril Hanouna does the same a few hours later.
“He himself is damaged”
It is then in a video published on YouTube that Jean-Luc Mélenchon speaks about this incident.
He denounces the comments made by the presenter, and recalls that the elected LFI are not his "
buddies
".
While adding that the boycott is not appropriate, because its troops need to go “
everywhere
” to carry their “
word
”.
The star host then broadcasts extracts from this video during his show, telling the leader of the Insoumis that he “should
not have done that
”.
He first comments with irony, shows images of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and exchanges almost friendly gestures with him, and ends up getting annoyed by announcing that he no longer wants to invite the Insoumis.
At this stage, neither Louis Boyard nor Jean-Luc Mélenchon reacted.
But the elected Raquel Garrido, formerly a columnist for "Balance your post", also presented by Cyril Hanouna, expressed her exasperation in a tweet.
His companion, also deputy Alexis Corbière, for his part took “
note
”, at the microphone of France Info, of this decision.
"
I'm not rude, I don't go where we're not invited
," he said.
Before asking to “
see if (Cyril Hanouna) holds this line
”, namely that of saying that a “
political force which makes 22%
” is no longer invited.
“
I think that he himself is damaged
,” he concluded.
