The public chain wanted to impose Anne-Sophie Lapix for the debate of between-two-tricks, but encountered the hostility of the national gathering candidate. Before that, Patrick Cohen had been dismissed from a flagship campaign show.

A direct challenge from the CNEWS tray. Monday, April 11, the president of the national rally, Jordan Bardella, said, about the presenter Star of the television news of France 2, Anne-Sophie Lapix: “She can not conceal her hostility vis-à-vis Marine Le Pen every time she receives her. “And to justify the eviction of the journalist, known for his precision and pugnacity, dreaded policies, the animation of the presidential debate of April 20 on TF1 and France 2 . “Marine Le Pen does not want Anne-Sophie Lapix animates the debate,” he continued. Twenty-four hours later, the candidate herself assumed, in the same language, the sorting of journalists by designating the media it judges “extremely hostile”.
If the choice of presenters of the presidential debate is in common agreement between finalist candidates, the public pressures are more unpublished. Three names were in the running within France 2, where one wanted to push a woman for the debate of the between-tours: Anne-Sophie Lapix, Lea Salamé and Caroline Roux. “Anne-Sophie Lapix was in the lead, in order to have a symmetrical logic against Gilles Birleau [the presenter of” 20 hours “of TF1]. But a priori, Lea Salamé will be on the plateau,” explains a journalist of France 2 , corroborating information from Paris. The journalist of France Inter, who also operates in “Elysée 2022”, is therefore part to be alongside Gilles Bouleau.
If TF1 does not hesitate to formalize his heading head, in France Télévisions, we refused, Tuesday, April 12, to confirm the name of the presenter. Obviously, the public television group was still waiting for “the definitive GO” of the Emmanuel Macron campaign team, as its entourage specifies. In the public channel, we have been conjecturing for weeks that Anne-Sophie Lapix had little chance of being selected. “We will propose his name, but neither Macron nor Le Pen will not want,” said, long before the first round, a figure of the chain of the public service.
Electrical negotiations on the “split screens”
In the secret of the negotiations surrounding the televised debate, the surroundings of Marine Le Pen savor another little victory. In 2017, the National Front Candidate team had accepted the “Split Screens”, these plans showing the two candidates at the screen simultaneously. She had died her fingers: it was thanks to these plans of reactions that the French had discovered her searching in her records while Emmanuel Macron spoke, or reacting about her opponent by a mime remained famous (” They are there… “). According to our information, Marine Le Pen has this time wanted to happen from Tristan Carné, the director of the debate of 2017, who has in fact been put away by France 2. Didier Froehly, another seasoned director, was chosen for The debate of April 20th. Negotiations around reaction plans, this week, are electric to be electrical.
