An intervention prepared or not? The debate has aroused many reactions since April 24, 2023. The day on which the 34th night of Molières was held. If Laura Felpin was rewarded and received the Molière for humor, it was not the artists themselves who caused the most reaction, but indeed the Minister of Culture. Indeed, Rima Abdul-Malak spoke in the middle of the ceremony after the intervention of two actresses about the pension reform.
An intervention that would be prepared for many and a journalist from Challenges goes in this direction. This Wednesday, April 26, Cyril Hanouna, convinced that the minister’s speech would be “fake”, broadcast an audio on the set of “TPMP”in which the journalist Jean-François Arnaud “hold everything”. “He gives us details. He confirms that the organizers knew very well that the minister was going to intervene and that everything was planned”assures Cyril Hanouna before listening to said audio.

Rima Abdul-Malak, would have had access to the text long before the night of the Molières
“On the side of the organization of the Molières, on the side of the organization of the evening, we knew that the minister was going to answer. And that’s why the famous microphone was nearby, ready, connected”, can we hear in the broadcast extract. The journalist from Challenges continues and explains: “we see that she is making the gesture as if she were surprised that the microphone is working, but it works very, very well. She knows it perfectly since she has been talking for several seconds into this microphone. It’s the little nudge to make people believe viewers that it’s improvised when it’s not improvised”.
Cyril Hanouna then wanted to listen to an extract. In it, Jean-François Arnaud claims that Rima Abdul-Malak would have had access to the text upstream. “The text which was read on the teleprompter by the two actresses, which was validated and even written by the CGT, was transmitted at 6 p.m. in the afternoon of the night of Molières to the organizers”he assures.
Still according to the journalist, the text would have been “communicated to the minister” and this could have “prepare your answer”. Information denied, for their part, by the entourage of Rima Abdul-Malak.
