Apolline de Malherbe makes very frank confidences

Apolline de Malherbe shares her regrets as follows: “I am in an extreme concentration and in particular when I receive someone like the Minister of the Economy. I am in an extreme concentration on each answer that he is going to give. I am trying to understand if he is not going to fool me on the figures. And I am all the more happy to find you in particular, Emmanuel Lechypre”, she indicates to his colleague, specializing in the economy.

The latter then looks at the journalist with big eyes. According to her, her columnist has “hindsight on what the Minister of the Economy said.” “You will be able to help me see more clearly”, she says, visibly tired from her interview.

Apolline de Malherbe then addresses the listeners and viewers: “I am sure that even you who have listened to us and watched from the other side from the camera, you can have a little more perspective than me, when I come out of the interview”.

What Emmanuel Lechypre, admits to her : “We also have a lot of trouble Apolline”. Enough to make the journalist smile, who feels a little less alone. Her interview with the Minister of the Economy has probably upset Apolline de Malherbe who found herself a little lost during her passage between Face-à-Face and her following show.
