During the parade, a journalist from the TV channel interviewed live an 8-year-old child demonstrating with his father, questioning him about his motivations. In these images, an extract of which was then posted on social networks, we see the child respond by uttering an insult towards the head of state and then towards the police officers.
Reframed by the journalist who suggests that he not say "bad words", he insults her again before showing his support for the high school students, for whom "it's a bit difficult", he says.
As of Sunday, this video had been seen by 3.8 million people on the X network.
“The management of franceinfo regrets that insulting remarks were made live by a child during a demonstration,” she wrote late Saturday evening.
“Even if these comments were reframed by the presenter, we should not have given the floor to a child,” she added, specifying that “instructions to this effect were recalled” to the editorial staff.
