Programme "C Politique" shown on May 28, 2023: response to the plaintiffs
Translations are provided as a service to Arcom users and are supplied “as is”, throught the DeepL tool. Consequently, only the text of the original version is authentic.
Arcom was alerted about the program C Politique, shown on France 5 on May 28, 2023, to which philosopher Michaël Foessel was invited.
It considered that the on-air presentation of Michaël Foessel, who holds neither political nor elective office, did not constitute a breach by the channel of its obligation to treat information honestly and rigorously.
It also noted that Mr. Foessel's support for Jean-Luc Mélenchon and La France insoumise, particularly during the last presidential election, had been recalled on air.
Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
