Geoffroy Lejeune, editorial director of the conservative weekly Valeurs actuelles, has been laid off and could be fired. The procedure is motivated by an "incident" involving the 34-year-old editorial director, said the management of Valmonde.
This procedure is the latest episode in a long tug-of-war between Goeffroy LeJeune and the magazine's shareholder, French-Lebanese businessman Iskandar Safa. A supporter of far-right candidate Eric Zemmour in the 2022 presidential election, ValeursActuells was sentenced on appeal in November to a suspended fine of 1,000 euros for public insult of a racist nature.
