“I will not play your game”: the muscular exchange between Maud Bregeon and a journalist on police violence

“Last week I asked you about French people injured by police officers in demonstration, you described my question as insulting…” From his first words, the journalist’s question promised a muscular verbal joust. Maud Bregeon took part in the exercise of questions from journalists this Wednesday, October 28 at the end of the report of the Council of Ministers when she was questioned at length by a man presenting himself as an independent journalist on police violence on the sidelines of the demonstrations.

The latter compared the toll of the injured during the days of mobilizations in France and the words of the spokesperson who congratulated herself on the RTL morning show that “the State was strong and had the upper hand” after October 24.

“First of all, the RTL morning show was Monday, you have difficulty following my media news,” Maud Bregeon pointed out in response. “I will not make any comment and I have no desire to play your game,” she continued. “I will just note that you forgot to have a word for the more than 200 law enforcement officers who were injured last week.” Relaunched by the journalist, the government spokesperson ended up saying, acidly: “you have your video for your social networks, thank you.”
