The complaints from France 3 follow comments on the Riposte Laïque site under a text signed by a Reconquest candidate in the last legislative elections in the Côtes-d'Armor.
The latter specifically targeted the FR3 journalist for a web article on death threats against Le Poher, explained to AFP the editor-in-chief of France 3 Bretagne, Christine Vilvoisin.
In Callac, where elected officials have also been the subject of multiple pressures including death threats, the municipality finally gave up in January on this refugee reception project planned with a private foundation and which aimed to give a new breath in this rural community.
Two demonstrations, based on a small group of local opponents but largely carried by the extreme right including Reconquête, had taken place in the locality, each time giving rise to counter-demonstrations.
