Invited on RMC on Wednesday evening, Maxime Saada revealed the reason for the sidelining of Stéphane Guy on Canal +.
This is one of the cases that rocked Canal + last season. Long before the controversy around Pierre Ménès, Vincent Bolloré’s channel separated from its star commentator Stéphane Guy, “guilty” of having sent a live message of support to Sébastien Thoen, himself ousted for having participated in a skit parodying a CNews program.
Invited on RMC on Wednesday evening, Maxime Saada gave his explanation on this story: “Stéphane, I thought he was an excellent commentator, and I defended him until this story, explained the chairman of the board of Canal +. We had to part with it for a very simple reason: it tended to consider Canal + to be its antenna. I consider that a journalist does not appropriate the antenna of Canal. “
Stéphane Guy therefore left, like around 25 journalists who had the misfortune to support him by signing the petition about him. Here again, Maxime Saada brings his version of the facts: “It’s not because they signed, but because they disagreed with decisions made by management. When you no longer want to work somewhere, you take responsibility. A number left because they wanted to leave. And we asked others to leave, because we want to work with people who want to work with us. I’m sorry, but that’s how it is. “
And what about Pierre Ménès? The decision has still not been made on him. “There is an investigation in progress on Pierre Ménès, which we are doing with the staff representatives, he replied. Until we have the conclusions of the investigation, I cannot answer you. “ The conclusions of this internal investigation should be released at the end of June.
