From the plateau of Time for the prosPascal Praud wanted to return to an interview with Jordan Bardella on Monday November 18, 2024 on CNews. Two days earlier, the president of the National Rally had been the guest of Aurélie Casse in C the weekly on France 5.
Strong exchange between Aurélie Casse and Jordan Bardella on France 5
“Last year, you had difficulty saying that Jean-Marie Le Pen had made anti-Semitic remarks. At the beginning, you did not say it and you ended up saying it. There is a nuance between saying ‘Jean-Marie Le Pen made anti-Semitic comments’ and saying ‘Jean-Marie Le Pen is anti-Semitic’ would you go so far as to say it like that today?the presenter who starred in the third most viewed series in Netflix history told him. To which Jordan Bardella defended himself by saying that Marine Le Pen’s father had made anti-Semitic remarks and that he had been condemned for that.
“It’s not the same as saying ‘Jean-Marie Le Pen is anti-Semitic’, did you see that there is a nuance?”insisted Aurélie Casse. His guest then did not hide his annoyance. “Sorry Madam for not wanting to burden someone who is 96 years old and sick. as we speak. He left politics ten years ago. He is the father of Marine Le Pen. You know what I owe to Marine Le Pen and I think that all French people watching us are well aware of the debt I owe to Marine Le Pen.he replied, annoyed.
The presenter, who is concerned by an illness that affects 10% of the population, did not stop there. “It’s too painful to say: ‘Yes, I recognize him. He is anti-Semitic and we must turn this page of the party’she had outbid before Jordan Bardella interrupted her: “Not only was he condemned for that. Not only was he expelled from the National Front for that. No, I probably wouldn’t have joined Jean-Marie Le Pen’s National Front. But sorry for not wanting to constantly use my speaking time to talk about Jean-Marie Le Pen!“.
Let’s stop talking about Jean-Marie Le Pen to Jordan Bardella!
An opinion joined by Pascal Praud. “He’s so right! Besides, when he came here, we didn’t talk to him about Jean-Marie Le Pen. That no longer makes sense… You don’t talk to Fabien Roussel about the leaders of the Communist Party French. You don’t talk to him about Georges Marchais all the time… You don’t tell him that Georges Marchais found it to be an overall positive assessment…”lamented the star host of CNews.
Furthermore, he did not hesitate to engage in reframing. “What would be good is stop talking about Jean-Marie Le Pen to Jordan Bardella! This is no longer the subject.. What Jean-Marie Le Pen said forty years ago, I believe he said it again and again and each time, we can talk about it again… Because in what the French hate, in addition of justice, there are the journalists… They should question our dear colleagues because they (the French) have the feeling that not all politicians are questioned in the same way…”he said.
