Kirill Hanuna and politicians: audience first

Kirill Hanuna, his follies, his excesses, but above all… his audience. Several politicians assessed that the host of “Touche pas à mon poste” (“TPMP”) went too far by insulting an elected official of the Republic. La France insoumise (LFI) MP Louis Boyard was guilty, in his eyes, of having “on the carpet” by questioning “The hand that feeds him”, namely Vincent Bolloré, the owner of the channel he directs, C8. From right to left, almost everyone is ready to go back there, at a time when the part of France, young, popular, rural and peripheral, eludes them.

” in any way “, Therefore for La France insoumise “Boycott” The show was decided by Jean-Luc Melenchon in a video broadcast on November 17. A way to put an end to the intelligent debate that prevailed in the group after the lynching of one of them. “We know we’re walking into far-right propaganda, curated by the far-right, for the far-right.”– said the LFI leader and specified that “Mr. Hanuna” It wasn’t his “friend”.

The star host of Bolore Galaxy did not allow this moment of aggression towards him. “Jean-Luc, you shouldn’t have made this video! »he said, half-threateningly, half-jokingly, on his show on Friday, November 18. For thirty minutes, he worked on a broadcast of archival footage, which showed moments of complicity between the former presidential candidate and the presenter. Never short of vulgarity, he also made comments on stage with Emmanuel Macron. “He pours the ointment, licks the bubbles”, he added. With this punishment as a bonus, “At this time, LFI is no longer invited to the set until further notice.”

“not fair”

The presenter put an end to the relationship that began in 2013: Jean-Luc Melenchon was one of the first political figures who went to his set. On Monday, November 14, the founder of LFI gave him at least a virtual release. “I’m not going to throw stones at him like everyone else”He said during a meeting in Clermont-Ferrand. The latter also knows what he is talking about when he says that the show is a showcase for the ultra-right. Renaud Labaye, Secretary General of the RN Group of the National Assembly, still remembers “The Big Show” in which Marine Le Pen participated during the campaign. “He was flawless”Judge the far-right official, who no longer adheres to the support of the channel Eric Zemor.
