The day after the broadcast of a report on radical Islam in Zone Interdite, on M6, Ophélie Meunier was placed under police protection. “I have instructed that each time a journalist is the subject of serious threats, he benefits from police protection“, said Gérald Darmanin. Immediately, presidential candidates or their supporters came forward to support the journalist. “This is what happens when you show the French the Islamization of our country“, assures Éric Zemmour who also adds: “Millions of patriots thank her for her courage“. “EIt is in a terrible state, freedom of expression, under the mafia threats of radical Islam”, worries about his side Gilbert Collard now lined up behind the far-right candidate. On Twitter, Valérie Pécresse says her “full support“in the old model when Éric Ciotti points to him:”His wrong? Have done their job with professionalism.”
No reactions from other star PAF journalists
But if the political class supports Ophélie Meunier, what about her fellow journalists? While some have expressed themselves on social networks, others remain quite silent for the moment. And especially the best known. A silence that questions many Internet users. “Vs do not even mention the serious attack suffered by your colleague from M6 O Meunier? ! What indignity. ! You are hurting Madam and do not deserve the salary that each contributor has the audiovisual royalty assures you!“, writes one of them on Twitter to the attention of Anne-Sophie Lapix.
“@GillesBouleau @TF1 @LCI @franceinter @Francetele @BFMTV @annesophielapix @ACCoudray @LaurentDelahous do you support???“, raises another Twittos in response to the message of support delivered by Valérie Expert who writes: “Full support for @ophmeunier placed under police protection. Almost general silence from the profession and the majority of politicians.“
