"Your questions are those of the old world": HOT beginnings for Benjamin Duhamel at the head of "Franc-Jeu"

Benjamin Duhamel made his debut as host of the new political program 'Franc-Jeu' on France 2 and France Inter, which was marked by tension during his interview with Raphaël Glucksmann, a candidate in the Socialist Party presidential primary. The interview was characterized by rapid-fire questioning and interruptions, leading to frustration for both the interviewer and the guest. Glucksmann criticized Duhamel’s approach, saying his questions reflected an outdated perspective focused on traditional arguments rather than modern communication strategies. The segment also included a final question about Glucksmann’s partner, Léa Salamé, who had recently announced her departure from France 2's evening news. The episode highlighted concerns over the show's style, reminiscent of formats seen on France Info.
