New start within the Télématin team, where resignations are linked. A bad atmosphere would be present within the team and Laurent Bignolas, whose behavior has been singled out, had chosen to put an end to rumors of tensions with the chroniclers of the show. Tuesday July 21, Laurent Bignolas – back on France 2 since May 25 (the show had been stopped due to the pandemic), one of the morning journalists said his farewell to the show.
After five years with France Télévisions, Valéry Lerouge, correspondent located in Brussels, decided to leave his post. "We wanted to pay tribute to you and thank you for these five years of work, friendly smiles, information, images", dropped William Leymergie's successor during the broadcast.
"Five totally crazy years"
The professional gives way, not without emotion. "It has been five totally crazy years! (…) We have lived through the attacks in Brussels, the Brexit, crazy summits … It has been an exciting, exhausting job, but I loved this period here, and with a great team that I would like to thank in passing ", he commented. The journalist's departure did not leave the show's producer, Ophélie Radureau-Viaene, indifferent. She, too, decided to pay tribute to him. "A big thank you Valéry Lerouge for your professionalism and your rigor as a journalist. The "borderless" is sad tonight but the whole Télématin team wishes you much happiness in your new role ", she wrote on Twitter.
