The Pierre Palmade affair continues to make ink flow. On February 10, 2023, the 55-year-old comedian caused a terrible car accident on a departmental road in Seine-et-Marne while he was under the influence of narcotics. A drama that seriously injured three people, including a pregnant woman who lost her baby, a father and his 6-year-old child. Since then, the case of the actor has unleashed passions. Indeed, awaiting his trial following his indictment for homicide and involuntary injuries, the latter remains free, which does not seem to please everyone.
An offense of road homicide without further sanction: @MehdiGhezzar: “When we see #Palmado dancing in a nightclub… It’s extremely serious! He wasn’t deemed compatible for prison but he’s deemed compatible for going to a nightclub with a whiskey in his hand!”#GGRMCpic.twitter.com/mpLvUBDw0A

Guest of Olivier Truchot in The Big Mouths, on RMC, this Monday, July 17, 2023, Mehdi Ghezzar did not mince his words. On the set, the self-taught entrepreneur clearly expressed his strong opinion on the subject and in particular on the latest measures announced by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne during an Interministerial Committee for Road Safety. As a reminder, the term “involuntary homicide” committed on the road has been replaced by that of “road homicide”. In addition, Emmanuel Macron’s right-hand man also mentioned other measures aimed at showing himself more “farm” towards traffic offenders, in particular the future suspension “automatique” of the driving license in the event of driving under the influence of narcotics, reported our colleagues from France Info Start of the week. The politician also assured that the government now intended to be “intractable” And “sanction addictive behavior more severely”.

“A government that acts in emotion”
Impassive, Mehdi Ghezzar likens these decisions to “of semantics”. “We had to announce something after the Palmade affair”, he assures. “It is a government that always acts in emotion to be ahead of the action, ahead of the media, but the substance remains unchanged, he continues. A guy who is on drugs, alcohol and different products, three months after causing the death of a baby and crippling people for life, is in a nightclub having a whiskey, strawberry milk with pistachios […] at 3:30 a.m. […] in Bordeaux”.
Indeed, on the night of Saturday June 24 to Sunday June 25, 2023, a video showing Michèle Laroque’s sidekick having a good time in a legendary club in the Bordeaux region had angered internet users. Like Mehdi Ghezzar, twittos do not understand why the 55-year-old comedian was able to escape prison pending trial. Let us recall once again that the actor’s trial has not yet taken place and that his state of health has been deemed incompatible with detention.
