On the front lines since the start of the crisis, Valérie Dupont explains her daily life as a correspondent in Italy for RTBF.
“A tsunami”Is how the Italians describe the coronavirus crisis that is currently shaking the whole world. At the heart of this dramatic whirlwind, Valérie Dupont, RTBF correspondent in Italy, tries to best inform viewers from the country where the epidemic has cruelly manifested before attacking more neighboring countries. Daily work that will be highlighted in particular through the special edition Covid-19 Tour of Europe, broadcast this Sunday after JT from 7:30 p.m. on the front page.
“For Europe, Italy was a kind of post-advance of the epidemic. Hundreds of hearses, burials, what happened was seen as incredible by other European countries. They thought it was never going to happen to them. Three weeks later, it was in Belgium that the epidemic hitExplains the journalist. “Italians rather look at what’s going on in France and Germany. They do not know Belgium well. For them, it is Brussels, the seat of the European Union which, according to them, does not smell of holiness. The Italians felt a little abandoned by Europe. And, they see that she doesn’t handle the crisis better than they do in the end. It’s the state of mind here, anyway.”
