Jean-Michel Javaux was interviewed by Martin Buxant and Mathieu Col in the show Face à Buxant this Sunday on RTL TVI. The mayor of Amay, former co-president of Ecolo, was notably questioned about Paul Magnette’s reaction this week in front of a CNews journalist.
Reminder of Paul Magnette’s refusal
The president of the Socialist Party refused to respond to the reporter from the French 24-hour news channel. The journalist went to Charleroi to question the mayor about the schools burned in the town after the disinformation campaign carried out on social networks on EVRAS events (Education for relational, emotional and sexual life).
“It is a position of principle“, Paul Magnette retorted to the journalist. “I am not answering you, you are a far-right channel and partly responsible for what is happening […] Your channel has been condemned for inciting hatred and violence. What we experience here is exactly that. Media like you spread fake news and make people think that violence is the only solution.“, added the elected official.

Paul Magnette’s explanations were broadcast on the CNews channel. The columnists present on set, obviously not knowing Paul Magnette’s political party or his exact position, then commented on his reaction with contempt.
I congratulated Paul Magnette
Will Jean-Michel Javaux respond to CNews? “No, I congratulated Paul Magnette“, replies the former co-president of Ecolo. He then explains why. “First, because they have been convicted more than 38 times for inciting hatred, for hateful remarks, and in particular people who are on this set (of the CNews show), who are pseudo journalists or even certain columnists… In addition, what complacency and what ignorance of what is happening right next door with, after all, one of the most important politicians in Belgium, so it’s mind-blowing. And then because our sanitary cordon works well on the French-speaking side“, specifies the mayor of Amay.
Jean-Michel Javaux denounces the reaction of the president of the MR
In Belgium, Paul Magnette’s refusal caused some people to react. Obviously, his biggest adversary, the president of the MR, jumped at the opportunity to criticize him: “Refusal to debate with party presidents, choice of media to which we respond… What is the left’s relationship to freedom of expression?“, launched Georges-Louis Bouchez on X (formerly Twitter).
The attitude of the president of the Reform Movement worries Jean-Michel Javaux. A little later in the interview, Martin Buxant asked him about the “uninhibited right of the MR and Georges-Louis Bouchez“. “I don’t put all the MR in it. I have a lot of friends and representatives in the field who are very reasonable and who do a lot of work in the field, on the other hand I think that Georges-Louis Bouchez is playing a dangerous game. It unwinds a lot of people. We see it on social networks, we still see it in his reaction to CNews, while in French-speaking Belgium, we have always united, all parties together, to fight against the extreme right“, indicated the former co-president of Ecolo.
