Arcom was alerted to comments made during the Touche pas à mon poste! program shown on C8 on October 11, 2023.
It noted that the brief comments were made in the context of a public controversy that was receiving wide media coverage at the time, allowing for greater freedom of expression. It considered that they did not constitute incitement to hatred or violence, or to dangerous, delinquent or uncivil behavior towards members of the La France insoumise movement.
Arcom points out that, according to the consistent case law of the European Court of Human Rights, political figures must, by nature, show greater tolerance for criticism.
Consequently, the Authority has not taken any action against the service editor.
