Frontières wrote that Sarah Knafo had contacted Arcom after her interview on Franceinfo. The media stated that the MEP from Reconquête! had been interrupted 73 times in 24 minutes and that a banner titled "Knafo responds to the accusations" appeared as early as the first minute of the interview. https://t.co/4YArhAzfjJ #Politique #Media #France (translated)

Franceinfo stated that Sarah Knafo, European MP from Reconquête, had been invited that morning to the show "8.30 Franceinfo" and had repeatedly called into question the journalists and their work. The channel recalled that a political interview should allow journalists to question political leaders and confront them with their statements and positions, regardless of their interlocutor. Franceinfo regretted that the interview did not take place within this framework, attributing it to a strategy it deemed deliberate to delegitimize journalistic work, particularly that of public service, which was subsequently pursued on social media. It expressed support for Simon Le Baron and Audrey Tison and condemned the attacks, threats, and attempts to intimidate its journalists. The channel also denied having apologized after the interview, contrary to what CGTV had claimed. It stated that it would continue to give a voice to different political sensitivities and to promote democratic debate in accordance with the rules of interviewing. #Journalisme #Politique #DébatDémocratique (translated)

Press Briefs reported that a journalist had indicated the day before that the management of BFMTV assured that there was no racism on air and that there would never be. However, the author believed that the channel regularly welcomed various far-right tendencies, particularly in the shows of Sonia Mabrouk, a former host at CNews, with very present editorialists and the mayor of Béziers. He judged that the debates leaned the same way. According to Press Briefs, under pressure, especially from internet users, BFMTV had ultimately removed Éric Zemmour from the schedule on Saturday. The president of Reconquête was to be received the day after what the author termed a racist terrorist attack in the Yvelines, which resulted in 1 death and 5 injuries. #BFMTV #racisme #extrêmeDroite (translated)

Guillaume Herblot wrote that BFMTV had canceled an interview scheduled the day before with Éric Zemmour at the end of the morning, following what he described as a racist attack in Trappes. He attributed this decision to a petition from MP Benjamin Lucas of Génération.s, which denounced a "provocation" and "complicity," alongside the cancellation by the channel's journalists' association and the judgment that the timing was indecent. Herblot condemned what he considered censorship and felt that Zemmour had been sidelined despite his prior invitation to the events. He also claimed that Zemmour had been warning for years about the rising tensions and violence of this kind, and that BFMTV journalists had themselves been attacked on the ground. The author linked this cancellation to the ideas of Jean-François Revel in *La Tentation totalitaire*. He described Revel as a leftist intellectual who gradually became close to the right and liberalism and argued that the temptation to control speech could also exist on the left, particularly under the guise of fighting racism and media accountability. Herblot finally warned that other voices could be pushed aside and believed that censoring debate weakened the Republic. #LibertéDExpression #Censure #DébatSociétal (translated)

BFM discreetly cancels Zemmour tonight in response to criticism, after the attack in Trappes. The interview with the head of Reconquête, who has been condemned notably for racism and incitement to hatred, was scheduled before the tragedy but the petition launched against him seems to have made Saadé's channel back down.

Daniel Conversano stated that Lisnard would not be present in the second round. He estimated that Reconquête was advocating a liberal line while also carrying, in his opinion, a necessary discourse on immigration and identity. He contrasted Lisnard's ability to implement tax reforms and cut government positions with that of the Knafo-Zemmour tandem, which he described as attacking relentlessly for five years. He also asked which party should confront the RN: Reconquête, which he presented as having a complete and civilizational program, or a new center-right formation that he compared to that of François Fillon, which he believed was destined to fall into oblivion. #Politique #Réformes #Élections (translated)
