“Shame last night on public serviceshame on France 5″he began. And it is against the public service that the star presenter of CNews appeared very upset!
Pascal Praud denounces “despicable words” broadcast on France 5
Indeed, Pascal Praud accused the show C Politique of having put the 75-year-old Franco-Algerian writer on trial, and arrested on November 16 upon his arrival at Algiers airport. Imprisoned, he was the subject of numerous comments. “Shame with a presenter,
Thomas Snégaroff, who accepted vile words
pronounced by Mr. Nedjib Sidi Moussa on the public service stage”first launched the presenter.
And to continue: “This gentleman whom I did not know has a doctorate in political science from the Panthéon-Sorbonne University. He is also a history and geography teacher in several universities and this man justified, in a certain way, the detention of Boualem Sansal and explained that he was a far-right writer.
CIt's a shame and it's a public service…“estimated Pascal Praud.

On the set of C Politique, Nedjib Sidi Moussa, for his part, said everything he thought about the imprisoned writer. “It turns out that Boualem Sansal, for several years, has been fueling a hostile discourse against immigrants and Muslims, and
covers all the themes of Eric Zemmour […]. When I see that human rights activists, anti-racist activists and intellectuals from the Parisian cultural community present him as a man of enlightenment who defends great causes, I am sorry, but they are completely wrong. Either they are blind, or they are complicit…“he declared while insisting that this in no way justified imprisonment.
After broadcasting the controversial extract, Pascal Praud repeated it and continued to denounce the content of the show C Politique. “And it's on public service and paid for by your taxes… On a prime time channel…”he insisted, explaining that he was waiting for a reaction from Arcom, the audiovisual policeman, but also from the Ministry of Culture and Policies.
