His words will certainly have caused a stir. On Sunday, on the set of the new France 5 program C Médiatique, Marc-Olivier Fogiel explained that Ségolène Royal, a columnist at BFMTV, had recently been fired from the channel he runs.
The reason: After her controversial statements about the war in Ukraine at the beginning of September – she particularly questioned the bomb attack on a maternity home in March – the former minister was visibly expected in a broadcast by the all-time news channel, but she didn’t come.
The broken trust
“She had pledged to come back (to justify her statement on the conflict), in the end she didn’t, she did on a competing channel. Which isn’t the problem. (…) It just so happens that she crashed the meeting where she was supposed to come and explain herself,” said the general manager of BFMTV.
For him, “the bond of trust is broken. Between her special words and (the fact) that she disappeared when she was supposed to come, I think the bond of trust is broken right now,” he stressed.
After her first speech, the former PS presidential candidate took to Twitter again, saying she had “not denied war crimes.” She then admitted to Checknews that she made a mistake.
