Jean Pierre Elkabbach died on Tuesday October 3. Present on the set of 8 Heures the day after her death, Nathalie Saint-Cricq evokes a journalist who was “very alive”. “Maybe that’s why he had this longevity”continues the political editorialist from France Télévisions. “He was someone who always came back and who never wanted to stop, who probably had a fear of retirement and death, and who considered that, until the end, you had to do your job with passion”she believes.
“A kind of reverence towards power”
“He always had a kind of reverence towards power, but that didn’t stop him from asking questions. (…) He asked them, not like certain journalists who love their questions and who don’t care about the answers, but with short and incisive questions.indicates Nathalie Saint-Cricq. “When he said: ‘I like THE ground’it is not like some who say but who do not practice it. He did it too.”she assures.
