“So we see the Belgian Minister of Justice and we see a video from a surveillance camera, it’s 4 a.m. and so we see the drunk Minister of Justice pretending to pee on another man”, says Yann Barthès with, in the background, the excerpt from the surveillance video that triggered the “pipigate” affair. “Daily” then launches the extract from the 7:30 p.m. news of RTBF where Nathalie Maleux mentions this affair as that of “pipigate”. This sentence triggers the hilarity of the public of the French program and the journalists on the set.
”And the Belgians invented the ‘pipigate’… The pipigate in the 8 p.m. news of the country’s first channel. Like what the level rises everywhere”. Yann Barthès continues by explaining this affair to the French public: “So we are going to summarize this affair which forces the press to tell a story with words that, normally, we never use on TV. Minister of Justice Vincent Van Quickenborne got drunk with friends at his house for his birthday and there is pee” before continuing: “The minister’s friends pissed on the police car which is supposed to protect the minister! We can allow ourselves a judgement: no phew”.
Then, Yann Barthès evokes the sequence where Vincent Van Quickenborne comments on the videos filmed by the surveillance cameras: “It is the minister himself who debriefs his surveillance video. This sequence where the Minister of Justice debriefs himself drunk, it looks like an episode of Black Mirror”, comments the presenter of “Quotidien”.
“Pipigate”: Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne unveils his own surveillance videos to prove his innocence
If Yann Barthès did not fail to ridicule Belgium somewhat, he did not forget to recall that France also knows its share of controversies: “Don’t worry Belgians, the Ministers of Justice who lie, it is pass here too!”, concludes the journalist.
