Jeannette’s partner served as the editor of Charlie Hebdo, she has revealed during recent interviews Charb never had children because he knew he was going to die. He lived without fear, but he knew he would die, she said.

The politician had only kind words to say about her late partner, “He died, executed with his comrades, as he would say.” During a TV interview she blamed the massacre on inadequate security at the Charlie Hebdo offices.
