Arcom was alerted to the broadcast of Elysée 2022, le débrief on April 5, 2022 on France 2, during which three excerpts from the meeting held by Emmanuel Macron on April 2, 2022 in Nanterre were shown.

The notice adopted on October 6, 2021 in view of the presidential election makes provision for in point 3 of 1.4 that "During the election campaign, publishers shall ensure, in accordance with I bis of article 3 of the aforementioned law no. 62-1292 of November 6, 1962, that speaking time and airtime granted to candidates and their supporters are equal under comparable programming conditions."

In accordance with the principle of editorial freedom, it is up to the publishers alone to determine the procedures that will enable them to meet this obligation. In the case in point, the publisher could make provision for different methods of intervention for different candidates, without infringing the principle of plurality.
