Arcom was alerted to comments made by a politician about another politician on the RTL Matin program, shown on RTL on December 6, 2023.
It noted that the comments in question had been made in the context of a public controversy, allowing for greater freedom of expression.
Arcom points out that, according to the established case law of the European Court of Human Rights, political figures must, by their very nature, be more tolerant of criticism.
