Overview
- Commission president Jérémie Patrier-Leitus suspended the sending of convocations and scheduled a January 6 bureau meeting to agree on conduct before resuming hearings.
- He stressed the commission is not halted and said convocations would resume after rules are reaffirmed to prevent a turn into a political “trial.”
- Rapporteur Charles Alloncle faces criticism for posting audition clips and combative questioning, with Radio France chief Sibyle Veil protesting “public deformations” of her testimony and the Assembly’s president urging adherence to norms.
- Alloncle said Delphine Ernotte refused to provide certain requested documents and warned he could conduct on‑site controls at France Télévisions, while the broadcaster says it has provided service documents but not personal files.
- Journalist Patrick Cohen, in a letter to deputies, accused Alloncle of maliciously distorting his remarks and prejudging conclusions, as the inquiry continues to examine neutrality claims and reported financial lapses at public broadcasters.
