Arcom was alerted to comments made on the Libre Antenne program shown on Europe 1 on February 5, 2023.
It considered that the reported comments did not exceed the limits of freedom of expression.
Moreover, she noted that the comments did not target any clearly identified category of person.
According to the long-standing case law of the European Court of Human Rights, freedom of expression applies not only to " information or ideas that are favourably received or regarded as inoffensive or as a matter of indifference, but also to those that offend, shock or disturb the State or any section of the population ".
Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
