Overview
- France's interior minister said the government is studying criminal proceedings against CNews after prosecutors took up the case.
- The prime minister asked the Seine-Saint-Denis prefect to join a civil action alongside Saint-Denis mayor Bally Bagayoko.
- Left-wing figures urged tougher action by Arcom, the broadcast regulator, with Marine Tondelier alleging persistent racist talk and Ian Brossat urging the closure of TNT channel 14.
- Supporters of guests Jean Doridot and Michel Onfray pushed back, as former judge George Fenech called the reaction a public shaming that violates the presumption of innocence.
- Commentators in Le Journal du Dimanche framed the uproar as a coordinated media diversion aimed at discrediting CNews and shifting attention from troubles facing La France Insoumise.
