2023-02-10T10:21:11.157Z


The government spokesman deplores "the way we call out to each other", including on "all the sets", where we go, according to him, "more and more to invective, to words who are tough.


He is not the first to make the remark.

Invited to RMC on Friday February 10, government spokesperson Olivier Véran commented on the political climate of recent months: particularly heated debates in the Hemicycle on pension reform, a record fine imposed by Arcom on C8 after the violent sequence between Cyril Hanouna and Louis Boyard, or the hasty departure of Jean-Luc Mélenchon on BFMTV Thursday evening following a question about Adrien Quatennens.

All of this leads the minister to one conclusion: “

I think there is too much violence in politics.

»

For Olivier Véran, it is in particular about “

the way in which we question ourselves, the way in which we call out

to each other ”, whether in the political sphere or on the media scene.

"

There is too much violence expressed on all sets

," he added.

More and more, we go quite easily to invective, to words that are harsh, to fairly strong formulas.

According to the spokesperson, “

television, radio, the media in general

” must have “a

vocation also to serve as an example for the population

”.

"

The respect that each other owes to each other, we must also guarantee

it", he developed.

Evoking "

quite oppressive things

" in the exchange of the day before between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and a journalist from BFMTV, or even the regular "

slippages

" which can be observed during Cyril Hanouna's broadcasts.

Not failing to slip in a political criticism, Olivier Véran also targeted the Nupes and the National Rally, recalling that “

the hemicycle is not a reality show

”.

"

It is very difficult today to have a debate idea against idea

", he added, although the troops of the majority lend themselves, too, regularly, to the sometimes theatrical game of the lower house.
