This Saturday, January 14, David Pujadas will be the guest of Jade and Eric Dussart in We redo the TV on RTL. In a long interview, the former star of the 20 hours of France 2 notably commented on his departure from France Télévisions. “In fact, when I left France Télé, for me the antenna, it was over. It turns out that to launch my production company, my main asset was myself with Mathilde Pasinetti, my partner.“, he explains. Before specifying: “When we started our production company, our first contract was with LCI and LCI wanted me on the air. And then one thing leading to another, I got a taste and here I am again five or six years later. But today, I see myself first and foremost as a producer.”
If he digested this prosperous period in terms of audiovisual and personal recognition, the former rival of Patrick Poivre d’Arvor claims to have found the right balance. “After a few years, when you have been very exposed through political broadcasts, the news… your ego is well nourished. Me, I probably had this somewhat personal need for recognition and it was satisfied.”, he assures.
David Pujadas still angry with Nicolas Sarkozy
During this interview to be discovered tomorrow on RTL, David Pujadas will reveal that the former President of the Republic Nicolas Sarkozy has not spoken to him since November 2016. In question? The debate of the right-wing primary where the former head of state attempted a last stand. That evening, Nicolas Sarkozy had been offended by the journalist’s question about Mediapart’s revelations about the Libyan financing of his 2007 campaign.What indignity! On public service, you ain’t ashamed to give a man credit [Ziad Takieddine, N.D.L.R.] who has been in jail and who is a liar. That’s not my idea of public service. It’s a shame“, he blurted out.
“I can tell you a secret: since that day, I have never spoken to Nicolas Sarkozy again. He remained angry. I know his lawyer and some of his relatives. From time to time, I tell them if he is still sulking?’. Yes, he is convinced that this sequence made him lose the primary of the right. It takes on an irrational dimension all the same“, confessed David Pujadas.
