A few weeks ago, Saturday, February 11, 2023, in What an era! on France 2Léa Salamé received Michael Zemmour, Dominique Seux, Cyril Féraud, Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, Elise Goldfarb, Julie Layani, Clémentine Célarié, Dominique de Villepin, Florent Dabadie, Philippe Lacheau, Elodie Fontan, Jean-Charles Deniau and Charles Sobhraj alias Le Serpent .
The 78-year-old was convicted of murders in Asia in the 1970s and imprisoned in Nepal for the past two decades before being released in December on health grounds. His arrival provoked many criticisms, in particular those of Christophe Hondelatte. “Me, I refused to do that. We cannot receive a serial killer, and make him a ‘star’. And do you know where I got this morality from? From France 2, and from my time in Let the accused enter !!”he wrote on Twitter.
I refused to do that. You can’t take in a serial killer and make him a “star”. And do you know where I got this moral from? From France 2, and my passage in Make Enter the Accused!! #the times are changing#the snakehttps://t.co/sSsb71dE2O

Asked about this in an interview given to Pure Mediathe journalist defended herself by saying: “I’m not going to lie to you. We thought about ‘The Serpent’. I had my doubts. It’s not easy”she said. “Still, the guy has spent half his life in prison. He’s served his sentence. His story has sparked dozens of books and movies. There’s been the huge success of the Netflix series. He his book comes out. After all, that’s also the era. It’s the era. The era is crazy. Then it was very framed “.
And unlike the first channel, the guest came through late in the evening. “It was broadcast at 1 a.m. I remind you that TF1 broadcast its interview with “Le Serpent” in “Seven to eight” at 7 p.m. We were the last guest. I knew it was going to arouse reactions . We take them on.”
Saturday February 25, 2023, Léa Salamé will receive Michael Youn or Evelyne Dhéliat on her show.
