Pascal Praud Declares Immigration a “Major Problem” Following Libération Criticism
PARIS – Pascal Praud, host on CNews and Europe 1, responded sharply to a Libération front page labeling his commentary as “Praudpagande and the Bolsphere,” using his platform to reiterate his stance on immigration in France. The exchange, occurring during his morning broadcast, saw Praud criticize Libération’s historical accuracy while pivoting to a broader discussion of immigration as a critical issue.
Libération‘s headline was a direct response to Praud’s editorial positions and the broader media line of the Bolloré group. Praud dismissed the criticism, stating, “Libé is a specialist in funeral orations… Libé has historically been wrong always and all the time.”
He than transitioned to his central argument, asserting a disconnect between media portrayals and observable reality. “why doesn’t he see what we see? And we don’t invent what we see. We testify, obviously, that immigration is a major problem in France,” Praud stated.
praud emphasized his editorials are grounded in factual observations and testimonies reported daily, reflecting a concern shared by a “large majority of French people.” He maintains his commentary isn’t intended as provocation,but as a direct response to a problem he believes is being minimized by certain media outlets.
