“He trembles when he speaks”: great discomfort between Gérard Darmon and Edwy Plenel in We are live – Closer France

It’s a face to face that will go down in the annals of the show We are live. Saturday February 5, 2022, on France 2, Gerard Darmon was not very tender with Edwy Plenel. “Edwy Plenel is a man who trembles when he speaks, it’s something quite disturbing“, he began by criticizing the methods of the journalist and his newspaper, Mediapart. “You don’t want to talk about Patrick Balkany this evening to talk about ecology, but you make the front page of it in your newspaper, then you alert us to Zemmour’s speech, the dangers of democracy, the power of the rich over the media as if no one knew“, he castigated before going even further and stating the five truths against the 69-year-old journalist.

“You know everything and nothing else, I blame you for being a judge, a policeman, for giving information in loucedé.” The actor also criticizes Edwy Plenel for reporting the same information for several years. He is disappointed because he had placed a lot of hope in him when he created his site. Only, after a few years, he does not find the promises that have been made and finds that the methods are not “effective“. At the same time, he called the journalist “bogeyman of politics“.
