Arcom was alerted to comments made by candidate Philippe Poutou about candidate Éric Zemmour during the program Elysée 2022: face à France Télévisions shown on France 2 on April 5, 2022.

While noting the polemical nature of some of the terms used by Mr. Philippe Poutou, the Authority, taking into account the context of the election campaign in which they were made, considered that they had not exceeded the limits of freedom of expression.

Consequently, the AMF did not take any action against the service editor.
