The opportunity was far too good. While the Prime Minister was preparing to announce the second phase of deconfinement in France, Emmanuel Macron's right hand took a little joke. And for his colleagues at the Palais de l'Elysée, it is starting to become a habit! Indeed, as reported by Duck Chained, Edouard Philippe took advantage of a short sentence dropped by Sibeth Ndiaye May 28, 2020 during a ministerial meeting to tease the journalist Jean-Jacques Bourdin. It must be said that he had just made the headlines for unglamorous facts. The presenter of RMC lost his driving license for speeding more than 50km / h a few days before, but that's not all. Jean-Jacques Bourdin also did not respect the 100 km limit imposed during confinement.
It is therefore natural that the Prime Minister wanted to bounce on the news. And for good reason, the government spokesperson had just told her that she was going to Jean-Jacques Bourdin's set the next morning, that is, on May 29, 2020. "It would be good to put forward the 80 km / h!", said Edouard Philippe, not without cynicism. However, Sibeth Ndiaye did not dare any allusion to Jean-Jacques Bourdin's casseroles during his visit to BFMTV. However, the continuous news channel has not given him a gift in recent days …
Sibeth Ndiaye, surprise smoking live on BFMTV
On the eve of the lifting of containment, on May 10, Sibeth Ndiaye spoke at the microphone of Apolline de Malherbe on BFMTV. However, his duplex intervention did not start as planned. A few seconds before her first words, the government spokesperson appeared seated at her desk, a cigarette in her mouth, typing on her cell phone. Embarrassed by such a sequence, Apolline de Malherbe tried as best he could to play down the situation: "You saw her, she is preparing Sibeth Ndiaye, she was in her office, uh … maybe not quite aware that she was being filmed as you could see." BFMTV journalist has apologized to the principal interested in the second.
