Change of program. In a press release sent this Monday, September 2, France 2 announced the deprogramming of the play “Lapin”. Written and directed by Samuel Benchetrit, and bringing together Muriel Robin and Pierre Arditi on stage for the first time, this new play was to be broadcast in prime time. It was to be followed by a second play “Drôle de genre” written and performed by Jade-Rose Parker, with Victoria Abril, Lionnel Astier and Axel Huet. Both plays will be scheduled “later” assures France Télévisions.
An unpublished issue of “Cash Investigation” on the McKinsey affair
Instead, La Deux will broadcast a new issue of “Cash Investigation” with Élise Lucet. Entitled “McKinsey, a firm at the heart of power” This investigation by Donatien Lemaître promises to reveal the underside of this American consulting firm, at the center of a political and financial scandal nicknamed “The McKinsey affair”, and concerning the links between the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron and the company. In November 2022, the national financial prosecutor’s office (PNF) opened a judicial investigation into the conditions of intervention in the 2017 and 2022 election campaign accounts, another on the awarding of public contracts, as well as a preliminary investigation into “aggravated money laundering of aggravated tax fraud”.

“Thanks to exclusive documents and unpublished testimonies“, “Cash Investigation” promises to reveal “How McKinsey consultants allegedly provided free services to Emmanuel Macron to help him win the Élysée in 2017″ but also to lift the veil on “the very expensive advice that the firm billed to the State once Emmanuel Macron became President of the Republic”, can be read in the press release. The program will also feature an interview with Élise Lucet and Clarisse Magnin, head of McKinsey in France.
As usual, the reporting magazine will offer a major debate after the broadcast of the report, during which “Guests from all walks of life, industry players, political leaders, experts, will answer Elise Lucet’s questions“. In the second part of the evening, France 2 will rebroadcast the documentary “Mauvaise langue” which breaks the taboo of the Arabic language, and will be broadcast for the first time on Wednesday September 11 at 10:50 p.m.
