In turmoil since a sketch comparing the Israeli Prime Minister to a “Nazi without foreskin”France Inter comedian Guillaume Meurice received a “warning” from the management of Radio France. “I did have a warning and I am going to challenge it in court,” declared Guillaume Meurice to AFP, confirming information from World.

Referrals to Arcom

“I made no mistake and I was only doing my job,” he clarified to World in the process, invoking “an injustice”. “I practice humor, caricature, political satire and excess is part of it”added the columnist for whom “the limit is the law”.

At the origin of his setbacks, a controversial outing about Benyamin Netanyahu, as part of Charline Vanhoenacker’s show, broadcast Sunday October 29 on France Inter.
