Touche pas à mon poste!" show broadcast on March 8, 2023: reply to the plaintiff
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 about a public figure on the program Touche pas à mon poste! shown on C8 on March 8, 2023.
It considered that these remarks, despite their vehement nature, did not constitute an infringement of personal rights.
Indeed, according to the long-standing and consistent case law of the European Court of Human Rights, public figures are inevitably exposed, by virtue of their position, to close scrutiny of their actions, and must therefore be more tolerant of criticism.
Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
