The emotion was palpable this Wednesday January 8 on BFMTV. At 4:25 p.m. precisely, Pierre Kupferman offered his latest eco column on the 24-hour news channel, where he had been working for 10 years. After her last words which focused on the increase in SNCF prices, Pauline Simonet, who hosts the segment of “L’aprèm info” (3 p.m.-5 p.m.) paid tribute to the journalist from BFM and BFM Business.
“This is the last eco column with us”
“I would like to thank you since this is the last eco column with us“, she began. “You are leaving for other horizons, not quite retired yet, you are much too young for that“, she emphasized with a smile. The journalist wished “thank you from the bottom of my heart“his colleague”for the rigor of (his) work that the viewers appreciated, but also, it is very important for (his) kindness, an incredible kindness towards all the teams” from the information section. If Pauline Simonet paid tribute to the work of Pierre Kupferman, she also wanted to salute his “elegance“and the”ever more shimmering costumes” of the man with the most famous mustache on the channel. She then launched a tape recorder which compiled the editorialist’s most beautiful outfits. A sequence that Puremédias invites you to view at the top of the article.
“Inimitable, not only excellent but beautiful, always beautiful“, added Pauline Simonet after the broadcast of these few images, before getting up to kiss her columnist, to whom the show’s team had just brought a bouquet of flowers. “You will always have a place here at ‘L’aprèm info’. Have a good trip Pierre, thank you for everything“, concluded the presenter before the jingle put an end to these goodbyes.
On his X account (ex-Twitter), Pierre Kupferman shared his last appearance on the channel accompanied by a little note. “The best things come to an end. I enjoyed talking to you about economics in simple words. Thanks to BFMTV for these 10 years that I haven’t seen go by. And thank you to those who, crossing my path, convinced me, with a kind word or a gesture of the hand, that our work is not in vain“, wrote the journalist. Asked what he will do next, Pierre Kupferman left the mystery hanging: “God only knows where the wind will take me“.
