Soir Info" broadcast on May 31, 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 to comments made on the Soir Info program shown on CNews on May 31, 2023.
It noted that these comments, explicitly presented as a " joke ", were aimed at a political figure, who is by nature exposed to criticism. It therefore considered that they did not constitute a breach of human rights and fell within the scope of freedom of expression.
Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
