Sylvain Maillard’s text message arrived in the Renaissance group’s Telegram loop. “ Let’s look at the editorial line of the next editions to see if it is as worrying as that of the first issue. In the meantime, I ask you not to participate in the articles of this Journal du Dimanche “Writes the boss of the Macronist deputies. The boycott is therefore, for the time being, temporary.
The controversy sparked by the interview with the Minister of the City Sabrina Agresti-Roubache is still in everyone’s mind. His interview was an outcry on the left, which denounced the trivialization of the far right by the government. This also caused unease in the majority, with some elected officials speaking of “ political misconduct “.
The government in limbo
If the Macronist deputies now have a clear line, this is not the case with the government. When some ministers defend freedom of expression, others like Clément Beaune no longer want to talk to the JDD.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne is herself in the dark, preferring to stay away from the controversy. Moreover, she did not support the journalists’ strike JDD.
