Vincent Lapierre stated that the exercise was more difficult than his critics on X thought. He mentioned a constant threat of violence and a strong reaction to a simple joke, which he believed forced him to proceed with caution. He also described the time needed to respond to what he considered fallacious arguments as considerable. According to him, Elwan did not address his comments on the differences between the RN and fascism, the resources allocated to suburb plans, the situation of suburban residents, the generosity of the French social system, or racial profiling, for which Lapierre claimed to rely on a study. He accused Elwan of staying in the rhetoric and bouncing from one topic to another. Lapierre clarified that he was not seeking to win the debate, but to gather testimonies without being attacked and to allow the audience to form their own opinion. He distinguished reporting from debating and claimed to be, to his knowledge, the only one who had given these high school students a voice without provoking confrontation. He believed that this tact explained why his reports were viewed beyond the right-wing Internet sphere. #Débat #Journalisme #Témoin (translated)
