RTL and the columnist, it's over. Emmanuelle Praet granted an exclusive interview to the Last hour.
In the closet stilettos and makeup, it is in jeans and sneakers Emmanuelle Praet was presented just after the decision of RTL TVI fell.
The channel communicated in the early evening on Tuesday to have definitively ended the collaboration of the columnist of It's not every day Sunday in TV and We are remaking the world in radio .
"Living together is not living with Emmanuelle", Launches the journalist who gives the tone directly, as usual. She does not regret any of her comments on the set last Sunday.
That day, leaving the studio on Georgin Avenue, Emmanuelle Praet was far from imagining the rest. "One of the speakers even slapped me in the hand saying: 'Good debate!' I was told that yellow vests were waiting for me at the exit and so my vehicle was moved underground. so that I do not see them. In the meantime, I met colleagues, including Pascal Vrebos. Nobody told me anything at all. On the contrary, I was told that I spoke very well. Around 3 pm, I receive a voice message from Georges Huercano who says that the management has sent a press release. I remind him and I answer that the bottom line of my thought was that we always vote for the same but as usual, I had to express myself very briefly since I am asked all the time to be very short on air."
Emmanuelle Praet is also convinced that if she had replaced the word Ecolo by N-VA, she would still be on the air.
Refugee at her best friend's house after this call, Emmanuelle Praet then decided to cut herself completely out of the media and social networks.
"This was an opportunity for me to think about what I still wanted and what I would not accept anymore. I have been RTL's puppet for almost ten years. I wondered what else I could bring to a debate if I could not express my ideas. I worked hard for this Sunday show. I have always prepared my debates all day Saturday and the morning of Sunday.
"I did not push for a vote. I invited people to think before voting, it's totally different. Many vote by automatism. I do not care who everyone votes for. I simply invited to intellectual reflection. I do not understand what I said badly but it is the free choice of my employer to interpret it differently."
And the columnist, a judicial reporter at the base, adds that no journalist is neutral. "I do not consider that this is a debate about freedom of the press but about freedom of expression. And I thank all the people who salute this freedom which is obviously not expensive to RTL since they estimate that I crossed the red line. "
Emmanuelle Praet also recalls that RTL came looking for her as a judicial reporter for several years (at the DH). "They used me like a puppet and no longer wanted me out of this role. Yet journalist ideas, I gave them a series!"
Without saying that she is relieved, the chronicler tells us that it became difficult for her to go every Sunday on the set, the ball in the stomach. "In radio, the place was really left to the debate. In We redo the world, the atmosphere was totally different. On Sunday, I was always afraid of saying something wrong and being hit. I was given less and less speech. It became inaudible to me. But I did not have a choice. I am a single woman with two children."
Without wanting to play "The Cosette", Emmanuelle Praet also tells us that she had experienced unemployment last year. A difficult test on which she returns in tears. "I did not have any friends at RTL but I was not looking for them. I was not there for that. I am a very sensitive person and I thank all those who support me since Sunday. "
Including Theo Francken, whom she confesses to us here again, having met only once on a TV set.
