According to Le Parisien, it is Léa Salamé and Gilles Bouleau who will lead the debate between the two rounds. Like five years ago, Anne-Sophie Lapix was ousted from this meeting.
We know the names of the two finalists in the presidential election… and those who will interview them. Two days after the qualification of Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, The Parisian unveiled the two journalists who will have the heavy task of hosting the traditional debate between the two rounds. And against all odds, it is Léa Salamé who would have been chosen to form a pair with Gilles Bouleau. As in 2017, therefore, Anne-Sophie Lapix will not be on set on Wednesday April 20. “The two finalists immediately rejected the name of the holder of the 20 hours of France 2”, confides a relative of the negotiations to the Parisian. A choice that makes you cringe. “It’s unfair and excessivejudges one of his relatives. What are we accusing him of? To be too biting. She’s just doing her job!”
The two camps did not hide their preference not to have to be questioned by Anne-Sophie Lapix. “Marine Le Pen does not want Anne-Sophie Lapix to moderate the debate, because there is such a biasassured Jordan Bardella, acting president of the National Rally, on CNews. I respect Anne-Sophie Lapix as a journalist, but she cannot hide her hostility towards Marine Le Pen each time she receives her. And Emmanuel Macron does not want Anne-Sophie Lapix either.” The choice of Léa Salamé has therefore almost imposed itself, since she has been co-presenting Elysée 2022 for weeks on France 2. “France Télévisions pushed Léa Salamédrops a source. It is a coherent choice, more than legitimate. She embodies both politics and the presidential campaign, both on France 2 and on France Inter.
Debate between the two rounds: who were the journalists in 2017?
According to our daily colleagues, TF1 and France 2 were able to discuss Tuesday April 12 by videoconference with “the entourage of the president-candidate and that of the candidate of the National Rally”, can we read in the article. But Le Parisien remains cautious all the same: “no official confirmation” has not been communicated and “Discussions are still ongoing.” In 2017, during the previous confrontation between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, Christophe Jakubyszyn and Nathalie Saint-Cricq led the face-to-face. A little over a week from this television meeting, the channels are preparing. As a reminder, five years ago, 16.4 million viewers watched this debate between the two rounds.
