The 20th season of Beijing Express will indeed take place. Indeed, Stéphane Rotenberg will once again take future candidates of the training program on a journey M6. As journalist Nicolas Malaboeuf announced, the adventurers will travel through part of Africa and this displeases Sandrine Rousseau.
More precisely, the future candidates will go to four different countries during their adventure. Namely Tanzania, Mozambique, Lesotho before ending their adventure in Johannesburg in South Africa.
Sandrine Rousseau's rant
As noted by our colleagues from TV Magthis will be the third time in the history of the program that the candidates will travel to the African continent. Before the 20th season presented by Stéphane Rotenberg, the 7th and 14th respectively crossed Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Lesotho and South Africa, and Uganda.
But why did Sandrine Rousseau rant when she learned the future destination of the next season of Beijing Express ? In a tweet published on X this Friday, October 25, 2024, the environmentalist deputy denounced: “This is the colonialist thought: making adventure shows in “exotic” countries and never showing the destruction of our businesses in these territories“.
We must then focus on the hashtags that accompany his publication to better understand the reasons for his anger: #StopEacop #TOTAL. The first acronym meaning “Stop The East African Crude Oil Pipeline” as stated TV Mag.
What she criticizes about Stéphane Rotenberg's show
Through this rant, Sandrine Rousseau thus denounces “the actions of TotalEnergies in East Africa. StopEACOP is an environmental organization that wants to stop the company's projects, particularly on the African continent“, note our colleagues.
Besides, TV Mag underlines that the StopEACOP site estimates that the Total project would be “a catastrophe for the people of Uganda, local biodiversity and the future of all of us on this planet. It is about to be built in the heart of Africa”.
The environmentalist deputy should therefore not be part of the millions of faithful who will be present during the next season of Beijing Express presented, once again, by Stéphane Rotenberg.
