Arcom was alerted to comments made by a columnist about Mr. Jean-Luc Mélenchon on the program Les Grandes Gueules, broadcast on December 6, 2023 on RMC and RMC Story.
It noted that these comments had been made in the context of a public controversy, which by its very nature authorized greater freedom of expression.
In this respect, Arcom points out that the European Court of Human Rights has consistently recognized the right to vigorous criticism of the actions and ideas of political actors.
Consequently, the Authority has not taken any action against the service editor.
