Who are the four individuals who testified on Friday in Cyril Hanouna’s “Touche pas à mon poste” program on the C8 channel? Are they really part of the Brav-M, this unit of police officers on motorcycles which intervenes during demonstrations against the pension reform and whose violent action is criticized?
Four people dressed in black are interviewed on the TPMP program presented by Cyril Hanouna, hooded face, hood on the head for some and fluorescent orange armband marked “police” on the arm. Their voices are changed. The individual who speaks first specifies from the outset that only some of the group are part of the Brav-M (Brigade for the repression of violent actions-motorcyclist). The others belong to units specialized in the maintenance of order.
But it is this unit of police officers on motorcycles, the object of strong criticism since the beginning of the mobilization against the pension reform, which is discussed for half an hour. ” Those we face are not innocent protesters ” but “ black blocks determined to kill us “explains one of them. ” The black blocs are the protesters’ worst enemies “, while “ we are [leurs] best friends “, he adds.
Problem: none of these people would be part of the Brav-M. In any case, this is indicated by the Paris police headquarters, which has opened an administrative investigation and seized the Paris public prosecutor.
The first elements in our possession suggest that these people do not belong to the BRAV-M.

As for Cyril Hanouna, he once again creates controversy. In February, Arcom, the media regulator, sentenced C8 to a record fine of 3.5 million euros because the host had insulted a deputy from La France insoumise (LFI) live.
