The comedian was also supported by several France Inter columnists, who resigned in solidarity.

We expected it a little, but the news still caused some commotion… While he had been laid off for a month, the management of France Inter announced this week the dismissal of Guillaume Meurice, for having reiterated his joke about Benjamin Netanyahu. Already widely criticized, his suspension had provoked a strike by radio staff, but the departure of Djamil Le Shlag, who officiated on the same program, “Le Grand Dimanche Soir”.
After eviction, other comrades of Charline Vanhoenacker’s gang decided to leave France Inter out of solidarity, like Aymeric Lompret and Thomas VDB. Today it’s Anne Roumanoff who defends her colleague, while she specifies that she did not appreciate his touch of humor, moreover. “I find it ridiculous to have fired him. I don’t like this joke but I think he has the right to do it. Humor has the right to be clumsy. Humor is attempts. We are living in difficult times. It’s complicated to do humor. We don’t hit it right every time! There’s all kinds of humor for all kinds of people. There is no such thing as good humor or bad humor. » she declared, on the set of “C l’hebdo”.
The comedian also noted that there were already several precedents of the same type, particularly citing Stéphane Guillon, Nicole Ferroni and Didier Porte. “If we start to decide that, then what’s the next step actually? What if there is a somewhat extreme regime in France coming? So we’re going to make commissions to say this joke is good, not good. » added Anne Roumanoff, referring to the current political climate in France. “I’m shocked, I don’t think it’s good! And I find that this opens the door to a kind of intellectual reasoning where we would have the right to decide that this is good, that this is not good…” she finally concluded, before continuing her interview with Aurélie Casse.
