“I don’t care”

A “Mimed scene” defended the former TV host today, 71 years old, explaining to ignore the presence of minors in the room and referring responsibility to “This woman who was part of the public”.
However, the deprogramming of Patrick Sébastien would not be linked to this controversy, defends the president and organizer of the festival. “Of course not it’s not linked, I don’t care, it’s a news item,” she annoyed himself with Bfmtv.
A cancellation which “is not even official yet”says the organizer, who invokes “Technical and logistical reasons”while remaining evasive. A press release must come to detail the causes of this deprogramming.
The festival management is now working on the reimbursement of spectators.
