Dozens of people took over the Paris ring road on Thursday, May 30 in the early evening, with the aim of protesting in front of the headquarters of the TF1 group against the broadcast of an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Several Palestinian flags were brandished, as journalist Taha Bouhafs was able to film. While the war continues to rage in Gaza, the announcement of this broadcast, scheduled from 8:30 p.m. Thursday on the LCI news channel, owned by TF1, was coldly received by part of the political class.
Rima Hassan, LFI candidate in the European elections, called for a rally in front of the premises of the two channels “at 19 ‘o clock”in a message published on X. On franceinfo Thursday, the national secretary of Europe Ecology Les Verts, Marine Tondelier, judged “inadmissible” the invitation of Benjamin Netanyahu, while the offensive carried out by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip is increasingly criticized on the international scene.
On social networks, several journalists shared images showing a compact crowd moving on the tracks of the southern ring road, a few hundred meters from the TF1 group tower, located in Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine). Several hundred people then gathered around the building. According to independent reporter Luc Auffret, who shares his coverage of the demonstration on the social networkhe LFI deputies Louis Boyard and Sébastien Delogu joined the gathering.
