For several months now, Cyril Viguier imposed itself on the air with its political appointment Facing the territories. The weekly show was launched in September 2021 and is broadcast on TV5 Monde, in partnership with West France and Nice morning. And with the approach of the presidential elections, expected next April, Cyril Viguier is delighted to stand out from other political programs by bringing a regional touch to its set.
“We are not in the presence of columnists, often Parisians, who come to ask their questions. Here, the principle is to associate the daily regional press, West France, nice morning and France West Indies… We are interested in what makes the reality of an election, that is to say what people experience“, he confided during an interview for Pocket TV published this Monday, February 7, 2022. Moreover, the French have a key role in Facing the territories since they have the possibility of challenging the guests with their questions on subjects of daily life. Guests who come from all sides, as much “right and left“.
Cyril Viguier has already received many political figures on his show, such as Valerie Pécresse (president of the Île-de-France region and candidate for the 2022 presidential election), Xavier-Bertrand, Elizabeth Moreno (Minister responsible for Gender Equality, Diversity and Equal Opportunities) or Gerard Larcher (president of the Senate), Richard Ferrand (President of the National Assembly), Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne (Minister Delegate to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, in charge of Tourism, French Nationals Abroad and La Francophonie and to the Minister of the Economy , Finance and Recovery, in charge of SMEs) or even Sophie Cluzel (Secretary of State in charge of people with disabilities).
This very intense political period is proving to be a major challenge for Cyril Viguier but above all a very thrilling parenthesis. “the presidential, it’s the most exciting Netflix series you can dream of ! A few months before the election, the cards are reshuffled“, he says enthusiastically.
