What happened to Jean-Jacques Bourdin? According to The mountain, 70-year-old journalist reportedly arrested for… speeding. “On Sunday May 24, the RMC journalist was arrested by the Saint-Flour PMO gendarmes on the highway. He was driving at 186 km / h instead of 130 km / h”, report our colleagues on Wednesday May 27, 2020. According to the newspaper, he was coming back from the south of France by the A75 “When the gendarmes of the Motorized Platoon (PMO) of Saint-Flour arrested him for speeding.” And our colleagues to specify: “Driving at the wheel of an Audi A6 limousine, Jean-Jacques Bourdin was checked at 186 km / h where the speed is limited to 130 km / h. A speed of 176 km / h was finally chosen. His vehicle was immobilized, and he was sanctioned with an administrative retention of the driver's license”, we learn. To top it off, the 100 km limit, imposed since May 11, 2020, the day of the deconfinement linked to the coronavirus crisis, would not have been respected either. This limit indeed requires the French not to exceed a perimeter defined by a circle of a radius of 100 km around the place of residence, calculated "as the crow flies", in the government's own words. Result: Jean-Jacques bourdin was fined 135 euros. No privilege, even for the stars of RMC.
When Jean-Jacques Bourdin tackles Didier Raoult
Monday May 18, Jean-Jacques Bourdin went from interviewer to guest while sitting in the chair of the set C to you. Known for his outspokenness, which he uses to conduct his interviews, the journalist indulged in some confidences and confessed to being annoyed by the attitude of Professor Didier Raoult, a major figure in the Covid-19 crisis thanks to his research on hydroxychloroquine. The reason for his annoyance? The now famous infectious disease specialist and professor of microbiology would never have responded to his invitation. “I invited him. Once or twice. But as I saw that he didn't answer me, that he didn't even have the courtesy to reply to my messages, I didn't invite him anymore, it's very simple”, Said the one who shares his life with the reporter Anne Nivat. The emblematic journalist of BFMTV also made it clear that he was not really in favor of remote interviews, a condition imposed by Didier Raoult, as this made them lose “A third of the questions”. And to conclude: “I invited him twice, he didn't answer me, I'm not going to lie on my stomach for Didier Raoult. That's his problem! If he doesn't want to come, he doesn't come. ” With or without 100 km limit.
