Overview
- The M6 host promoted her documentary, Les nouveaux Français, 100 ans d’immigration, across CNews, RMC/RMC Story and RTL ahead of its prime-time broadcast.
- On CNews’ L’Heure des Pros, she described feeling fear upon seeing “blacks” and “Muslims/Arabs” exit an RER train, a passage that was widely shared on social media.
- Deputies Ersilia Soudais (LFI) and Léa Balage El Mariky (EELV) said they have seized ARCOM to assess the segment, and the regulator has not announced any action.
- In a Tuesday Instagram story, Le Marchand said the 15‑second excerpt was taken out of context and affirmed pride in her mixed heritage.
- Media reaction remains sharply divided, with L’Humanité criticizing the film’s framing of immigrants, and Le Marchand also telling CNews that “we can’t welcome everyone.”
