Jacquet, L8217;Equipe slug it out

But on the day that French President Jacques Chirac paid homage to Jacquet as a man that embodied all that was best in the French, Bureau went on to accuse him of lynching those who don8217;t think like you8217;.

Jacquet8217;s point blank refusal to forgive the paper and his comments on television on Monday Bureau wrote: 8220;Nothing justifies the way you have treated us8221;. Nothing legitimises the extreme violent nature of the language that you used.

8220;I think our greatest source of pride,8221; Jacquet has observed, 8220;is to have created a sense of communion with the French people.8221;

Communication with the people perhaps, but certainly not with L8217;Equipe.
