Cyril Hanouna
's cycle of political programs
,
"Face à Baba"
, resumed this Tuesday, January 31 with, as guest,
Olivier Véran
.
The government spokesperson, in this position since July 2022, answered questions from French people from civil society, both active and retired.
From Fahd, a crane operator worried about having to work until the age of 64, to Stéphane Durillon, a chef from Doubs who became known on social networks for his anti-government positions during the health crisis.
Then the minister was confronted with
André Bercoff
, a journalist for the written press, television and radio, who now officiates on Sud Radio.
André Bercoff wanted, not to talk about the pension reform, but about the shortage of drugs.
The discussion, at the start, is audible.
The journalist, who considers that “incredible things have happened
in three years”
, then talks about the subject of Covid-19 and the vaccine.
He accuses the government of irresponsibility.
Olivier Véran interrupts him:
“I know André Bercoff well, I have respect for everyone.
Do you want to discuss what each other said?
»
“
I have no respect for the way you do your job today
”
Olivier Véran to André Bercoff
Olivier Véran targets a tweet written by Bercoff in 2021, in which the journalist who was close to the Mitterrandian left compared the treatment of the non-vaccinated to a
"final solution"
.
“So, if we follow well, it is today (…) quietly if possible, slowly but surely, to put in place a final solution to the problem of the unvaccinated”
, wrote André Bercoff.
Who climbs on C8 in the towers:
“Do you take it like that?
So I'm going to tell you what you said about vaccines...”
Beginning of the brouhaha.
“I overdid
it, he continues,
because I was annoyed by the way the non-vaccinated were treated.
When your beloved president said “I want to piss off the non-vaccinated”, it made me react”
.
André Bercoff gets carried away
The exchange turns into a fight.
“Your contemporary career is made up of conspiratorial positions, constantly reversing history
,” thunders the minister.
“What is conspiratorial?
“
, protested André Bercoff.
“I know you well too, imagine, I read you from time to time and I also know your past for which I had respect, I would like to understand the mechanisms by which you manage to greet
the attack on public buildings officials in Brazil ,
”
replies Olivier Véran.
"What does that have to do with our subject?" You avoid it.
You don't want to take responsibility for all the lies you've told for three years, you've lied to the French
,” fulminates André Bercoff, struggling to contain his nerves.
Olivier Véran:
“I have no respect for the way you do your job today, which you did yesterday in a different way.
I have no respect for the fights you are fighting”
.
The 82-year-old journalist, who said at the start of their exchange that he did not want to
“personally”
attack the former Minister of Health, then describes him as
“faithful servant of all lies”
.
“To be insulted by you
, loose Olivier Véran,
is a compliment and it's the first of the evening, thank you.
