Julian Bugier has given up his apron. The presenter of France 2's “13 Heures” was involved one last time, this Thursday, November 7, 2024, in the “continuous evenings” system. “For almost ten years“, the journalist regularly hosted social debates interspersed between two productions (documentaries, television films) dealing with a common theme.
“To tell you how proud I am to have presented and hosted these ongoing evenings”
Before launching the end credits of the debate following the broadcast of the documentary “Lindsay, the mechanics of harassment” – it returned to the story of this 13-year-old girl who was a victim before committing suicide – Julian Bugier addressed “a few simple words” to viewers to let them know “all (his) pride in having presented and animated these continuous evenings“. “It is the honor of the public service to regularly propose subjects like these to you, to give you the floor, to delve into these social debates to move the lines, as we did again this evening“, he continued.
“Thank you for your immense loyalty“, he testified again before inducting the one who will succeed him in the exercise. “It is Carole Gaessler who will now accompany you in these evenings (its premiere is scheduled for Wednesday November 20, 2024 after the prime time broadcast of the TV film “Signalements” with Cécile Bois, Odile Vuillemin and Bruno Solo, editor's note) but I will not be away with the “13 Heures” newspaper and lots of new projects“, indicated the one that viewers will soon discover in a new documentary series on France 5.
