For Edwy Plenel’s lawyer, this kind of act should not be treated with impunity. For his part, the journalist does not understand what motivated this violence against him. Believing that he had no disagreements with the journalist, he deduces that this attack could have been motivated by the publication of articles in Mediapart reporting suspicions of rape targeting Luc Besson, former companion and father of one of his children.
