Controversial remarks on Ukraine: Ségolène Royal dismissed from BFMTV after “planting” a program – archyde

His words will have definitely created a stir. On Sunday, Marc-Olivier Fogiel explained on the set of the new France 5 program “C Médiatique” that Ségolène Royal, columnist on BFMTV, had recently been dismissed from the channel he runs. The cause: after his controversial remarks on the war in Ukraine at the very beginning of September – she questioned in particular the bombing of a maternity ward in March – the former minister was obviously expected in a broadcast from the continuous news channel, but she did not come. The broken trust “She had undertaken to return (to justify her declaration on the conflict), finally she did not do it, she did it on a competing channel. Which is not the problem. (…) It just happens that she crashed the meeting in which she was supposed to come and explain herself, ”said the general manager of BFMTV. For him, “the bond of trust is broken. Between her particular remarks and (the fact) that she disappeared when she was supposed to come, I believe that for the moment, the bond of trust is broken, ”he insisted. After his first intervention, the former PS presidential candidate had taken to Twitter again, saying that she had not “denied war crimes”. Then, she admitted to Checknews that she had made a mistake.
