PAF star journalist David Pujadas is a key figure on the 8 p.m. television news, which he presented for 16 years. His professional integrity and his ethics, the presenter intends to keep them intact. He thus expressed his indignation against the team of one of the candidates for the presidential election who hijacked his image, Eric Zemmour. His staff has indeed used images of the television professional for a video which imagines the victory of the leader of Reconquest in the second round.
Through his Twitter account, David Pujadas denounced the use of his face and voice to simulate the announcement of hypothetical results of the 2022 presidential election.Thank you @zemmourtv for not using my image for your political fiction montages. So thank you for removing this video which features me #zemmour @Samuel_Lafont.”
A thirty-second montage in which we hear and see David Pujadas, notably seated next to Elise Lucet, declare “here is our estimate of the result of the presidential election. Eric Zemmour is elected President of the Republic with 51.9% of the vote. Look at these pictures. Jean-Jacques Amsellem will show us these images of joy, this clamor of thousands of supporters in the street. They suspected it, of course they had the indiscretions. Well it’s this joy that was expressed in broad daylight.”
