According to the authors of the video, they would have consumed xylazine, a drug that makes you look like zombies.“, he added before his comments were supported by his columnists.
“As they are short of money…”
“We know that the drug (from the zombie) arrived on French territory», formally affirmed Valérie Benaïm, without citing a specific source. Same story on the side ofAlex Goudenewcomer to the talkshow, who added: “Especially, when you see them, which is very impressive. Do you think it’s “Walking Dead” (a horror television series about zombies Editor’s note). Sometimes they are very calm and suddenly they get excited. I had some (in San Francisco) who went crazy, who hit you“.
And positions and other declarations continued to flow on the C8 set. This time, the columnist had the floor Kelly Vedovelli. “As they are in need of money and in need of food, they climb people’s balconies to go and feed at people’s homes and when people come back, they come face to face with these people and it’s really scary […] I saw it on the internet”, she said as if to protect her words. However, other information – much more reliable and verified – revealed a completely different truth… a few hours before the broadcast.
