Guest of the program Additional investigation dedicated to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi Thursday evening, Véronique Rabiot did not hesitate to once again denounce the insulting banners of which she and her son Adrien were the target during the recent PSG-OM. Very critical of the Parisian president, she pointed out a lack of reaction from the authorities to these overflows.
But as she condemned the violence of Parisian supporters, journalist Tristan Waleckx chose to confront her with a similar situation, dating back to 2015, when the Marseille supporters had hanged a doll with the image of Mathieu Valbuena. A parallel which obviously took Véronique Rabiot de Court.
Véronique Rabiot did not expect that
When reminded her of this Marseille episode, Véronique Rabiot tries to elude the question. “You will exaggerate”she replies, obviously annoyed. She refuses to venture on this ground, declaring: “We are talking about PSG. You cannot put me in difficulty vis-à-vis OM. We are talking about banners and nothing else. »»
When Véronique Rabiot tries to dodge and get bogged down
A reaction that speaks volumes about his desire to concentrate his criticism exclusively on the Parisian club. However, this attempt to avoid the subject did not fail to feed the debates.
Since the departure of Adrien Rabiot of PSG, the tensions between the Rabiot and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi family have continued to intensify. Véronique Rabiot has never hidden her resentment towards the management of the club, repeatedly denouncing the methods of the Qatari president. The episode of banners only rekindled this animosity.
As for the comparison with the Valbuena case, it highlighted the difficulty of maintaining an exclusively accusing posture. For some observers, this sequence reveals a certain inconsistency in the speech of Véronique Rabiot.
A sequence that makes react
Véronique Rabiot’s media outing has already sparked many reactions. If some believe that it is right to point the finger at the responsibilities of PSG, others judge its reaction too selective and biased.
Be that as it may, this live confrontation on France 2 will remain as one of the significant moments of this program, and confirms that the conflict between the Rabiot family and the Parisian club is far from peaceful.
