“I call for a ceasefire”. At 92, Claude Angeli, the dean of chained duck, comes out of the reserve he has been trying to observe since Christophe Nobili revealed a probable fictitious job within the weekly. While the journalist is summoned to an interview prior to dismissal, Friday April 7 at noon, “I ask that this procedure be terminated”insists, worried about his colleague, this tutelary figure of the “Palmipede”.
For several months now, Duck sails on a troubled wave by the discovery of his restless duckling, and the complaint against X for abuse of corporate assets and concealment of abuse of corporate assets that he filed in May 2022 under the status of whistleblower. The release of the book he devoted to this story, Dear Duck, published in early March (ed. JC Lattès), convinced his management to separate from him. Even though Mr. Nobili, elected staff and union delegate, is a protected employee. In accordance with what this statute requires, the elected representatives of the Economic and Social Council (CSE) are convened in an extraordinary way on Friday at 3 p.m. so that this dismissal project is submitted to their consultation – a positive vote seems unlikely. The file must then be sent within 48 hours to the labor inspectorate, which will have two months to decide.
Among the grievances against Mr. Nobili are his declarations to the press granted within the framework of the promotion of his work, which would be in line “in violation of both the collective agreement for journalists and the ethical charter of the” Duck “”indicated Sunday, in an e-mail, the committee of administration to the employees. “It follows from this message that the decision to dismiss Mr. Nobili has already been taken, stings Joyce Ktorza, his lawyer. While the preliminary interview has not yet taken place, it appears that there is no real concern to collect Mr. Nobili’s observations. » From his point of view, the obvious is obvious: “This is a retaliatory measure. »
“Too bad if we hate each other a little for a while”
“Everyone has the right to think what they think of Christophe’s book, resumes Claude Angeli, annoyed to see the image of the newspaper “eared” by this case. I’m not asking anyone to eat their hat, but we have to settle this internally, sit around a table and discuss. Too bad if we hate each other a little for a while. »
The nonagenarian keen on defense issues regrets that the management of the Duck expressed itself in its own columns against the work, without allowing the supporters of Mr. Nobili to also speak. Because even if some would not have chosen to make the affair public, if they had discovered it, that does not prevent them from considering the possible employment of Edith Escaro, for twenty-four years, without counterpart of a work, much more criticizable. “It’s a Brimo affair, not a Nobili affair”insists Joyce Ktorza, targeting Deputy Managing Director and Publishing Director Nicolas Brimo.
