With Gilles Bouleau, it is she who will lead the debate between the two rounds of the presidential election. Described by some as the second choice of France 2, Léa Salamé responded to criticism.
It is now official. After numerous negotiations and the eviction of Anne-Sophie Lapix, TF1 and France 2 have formalized the names of the journalists who will animate the debate between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen: Gilles Bouleau and Léa Salame. And while some think the public service journalist is the group’s second choice, she disagrees. “I don’t feel like I played second fiddle in this campaign”she replied to the Parisian. And to add: “Laurent Guimier (head of the political service of France 2, editor’s note) affirms that he gave only one name to the candidates, mine. I have no reason not to believe him”. Critics, Léa Salamé does not listen to them at all. Quite the contrary.
“I have been criticized enough in my career for being too aggressive and too hard. So it makes me smile to hear, for a few days, that politicians would have chosen me because I would be soft or inoffensive.she quips in the columns of our colleagues. The truth is that they don’t choose.” However, it is indeed the two candidates in the second round of the presidential election who have decided to challenge Anne-Sophie Lapix, approached to animate this television meeting. “The two finalists immediately rejected the name of the holder of the 20 hours of France 2”, confided a person close to the negotiations to the Parisian. A choice that made you cringe. “It’s unfair and excessive, judged one of his relatives. What are we accusing him of? To be too biting. She’s just doing her job!”
Léa Salamé: “It’s not up to politicians to give journalists a good or a bad point”
“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.” A confidence that shocked Léa Salamé. “It’s not up to politicians to give journalists a good or a bad point on a TV set”explained the journalist, who supported her colleague: “She put herself in danger by agreeing to take part in this political program when she was not obliged to. In addition to being an excellent journalist, she is a courageous and upright woman. spoken this week”.
