Arcom was alerted to a segment of the program BFMTVSD, shown on BFM TV on December 5, 2021, which mentioned the violence that had taken place during a political rally.

It ruled that the comments made by a guest, which could not be construed as incitement to violent behavior, did not constitute a breach of the channel's ethical obligations.

What's more, several on-set speakers expressly condemned the violence at the meeting.

Consequently, the AMF did not take any action against the publisher.
