Whether this evening on Europe 1 or on CNews, Pascal Praud is not not one to be tongue-tied and does not fear leading very lively debates. Thus, this November 29, in “L’Heure des Pros”, the 60-year-old journalist returned to the very tense climate recently in the National Assembly. As revealed Liberationthe deputy La France insoumise (LFI) Thomas Portes received on November 7 in the Assembly a letter written on a paper stamped with a swastika with, for him, a “bullet” and, for his family, “of acid in the mouth.
Following this letter, his colleague Antoine Leaument spoke in the Hemicycle. Thus, the LFI deputy for Essonne indicated that his colleagues “receive death threats“, “death threats against our families“. “This is what is happening“. Back on set and in a very calm manner, Pascal Praud spoke again by making an announcement that no one expected.
“Well, Mr Leaument, let him calm down” launched the presenter before saying more about his personal situation: “Everyone receives death threats. I was under protection two months ago and I'm not the only one. Let him also calm down because what La France Insoumise does is also to put targets on everyone. Are you fed up with this role of victimization“. Then, Pascal Praud concluded: “It turns out that today, those who have a public role – journalists, artists, etc. – all receive death threats“.
Pascal Praud: the journalist very annoyed by the behavior of deputies in the National Assembly
Beyond the words of Mr. Léaument, Pascal Praud has been annoyed for some time by the attitude of the deputies of the Palais Bourbon. This November 29, he began his daily editorial by evoking the behavior of certain deputies. In question: the incident of November 28. Around 10:30 p.m. in the Hemicycle, a violent altercation took place. While tempers were heating up around the proposed law to repeal the Insoumis pension reform, the MoDem deputy Nicolas Turquois stood up from his seat. His goal: to attack one of his colleagues, the socialist Mickaël Bouloux, accusing him of having been threatened by people from his village.
“How can I express disgust this morning in front of these men who do not know how to hold their nerves and are offering this lamentable spectacle in front of the national representation?” began by reading the journalist before describing the protagonists as “two children in a schoolyard“I don't know whether to laugh or cry about it, I'll let you be the judge,” he concluded to his columnists just before launching the newspaper.
