Sophie Broyet replied to Bruno Pomart that she had never claimed he had benefited from the Marianne fund. However, she pointed out that her association had received €600,000 in grants from the CIPDR in 2021 and 2023, and asked how her comments were defamatory. She also asked him why he was not responding to the question about his statements the day before on LCI. #diffamation #transparence #subventions (translated)

Erik Tegnér indicated that he republished the editorial presenting his magazine dedicated to Youssef Badr, following the opening of an inquiry by the Paris public prosecutor's office. He said he did not know if he himself was directly targeted and accused the press of maintaining confusion. He condemned the insults and threats directed at the judge, while defending the journalistic work of his team. He also mentioned the respect for opposing views and fact-checking, as well as his personal withdrawal from conducting the inquiry. According to him, the subject was of public interest and did not reveal any sensitive information. Referring to an AFP dispatch, Tegnér stated that to his knowledge, his team was not directly targeted by the inquiry, which, according to the agency, concerned threats. He added that the term "defamation" had, in his opinion, never been used since Tuesday, despite the 30 pages of the inquiry. He invited the public to form their own opinion, to buy the magazine at newsstands, to engage in polite debate, and to focus on the substance without being intimidated. #journalisme #enquête #libertédexpression (translated)

Erik Tegnér accused Youssef Badr of describing, during an interview with LCP, the numerous emails sent to him as harassment within the context of the adversarial process, believing that they aimed to destabilize the judicial institution. Tegnér found this accusation incoherent, reminding that Badr had previously asked him during his trial to press harder with the lawyers who were not responding. He deemed that some individuals wanted journalists to simply publish flattering portrayals and labeled this attitude as totalitarian. He also expressed his astonishment at the idea that these individuals could later judge issues of press law. Tegnér clarified that the journalist who sent the emails was not him, as he had withdrawn from the investigation. He presented this journalist as the editor-in-chief of Frontières and holder of a press card, indicating that the media outlet was accredited by the CPPAP and recognized as part of the IPG. According to Tegnér, the investigation had respected the adversarial process, Badr had not contested the accuracy of the facts, and no defamation complaint had been filed. He defended the public interest in the subject by pointing out that Badr was a judge already in the media spotlight and a candidate for the presidency of the ENM. Finally, he criticized the journalist from LCP for giving favorable treatment to Badr. #Journalisme #LibertéDeLaPresse #Démocratie (translated)
