It was his last day… Sunday, July 2, after 40 years of good and loyal service at France Televisions, Catherine Matausch bowed out. It was through a text filled with emotion that the 63-year-old journalist addressed the viewers and said goodbye through the screen. Farewells ruined by France Televisions who decided to send a commercial right in the middle of the intervention of his journalist.
Fortunately, the one who fought cancer in the spring of 2022 was able to count on the support of her colleague, Laurent Delahousse, who broadcast his entire speech in the JT of France 2. “I kiss you very much and we wish you the best”moreover launched the companion of Alice Taglioni at the end of the magneto while greeting her “passion” and his “professionalism”.

We have an ice cream between us and we often said hello to each other”she confided in an interview with Télé-Loisirs this Monday, July 3.
Alice Taglioni’s companion is someone she “appreciate” with a “sensitivity which [la] touch”. “What he said also moved me a lot”she continues before revealing: “He gave me a nice bouquet, he was very elegant”. “Being fraternal is so important, we need in this society where people hate each other more and more, to be united, fraternal, benevolent, it brings us closer. Finally, I was delighted that the missing part was launched by him, I thought it was a nice sign”concluded the 63-year-old journalist.
As it concerns France Televisionsno resentment on the part of the now ex-presenter of the news of France 3. “These are mistakes, accidents are part of life. Once it’s done, it’s done, we move on”, she assures. A way to keep only the positive of his last appearance.
