Highlights: RN deputies have instructed until further notice not to intervene on BFMTV. The causes of anger? Some editorial choices made by the first continuous news channel. "We are not doormats. We are not asking for the red carpet but a minimum of respect," said Marine Le Pen. relations between the RN, Marine LePen and the journalists of Quotidien have been abysmal for several years.

"We are not doormats. We are not asking for the red carpet but a minimum of respect, "confirmed Friday Marine Le Pen to the World.


The war has been raging for several days. And it is not about to stop, in view of the latest statements. According to information revealed Friday morning by Politico, and hammered by the president of the RN deputies Marine Le Pen to the World, the representatives of the nationalist party have instructed until further notice not to intervene on BFMTV. A resolution recorded by the former presidential candidate and the current boss of the National Rally Jordan Bardella. The causes of anger? Some editorial choices made by the first continuous news channel. According to the party to the flame, BFMTV would have first left vacant the post of rubricard RN. And this has been the case for a few months. Second reproach addressed to the management of the channel, the identity and profile of the next journalist - Sophie Dupont - who, coming from the program Quotidien, will be responsible for following the news of the party.

Several grievances, therefore, that the triple pretender to the supreme function assumes completely with the World. " We are not doormats. We are not asking for the red carpet but a minimum of respect, "said Marine Le Pen. Which thus confirms the installation of "a moratorium until we manage to find the way of respect for a political force that represents millions of French people." The one who was at the head of the RN for ten years then makes two hypotheses: "Either it is a management problem and Marc-Olivier Fogiel (director general of BFMTV, Editor's note) must do what is necessary, or it is a contempt for the RN and this is no less questionable.

According to Politico, it was Jordan Bardella who launched the hostilities in a WhatsApp message addressed to the leaders of the RN. The MEP also described the choice of the journalist mentioned above as a "breach of trust". If the president of the party remains in contact with the management of the news channel, he and the deputy of Pas-de-Calais would have shown their "greatest reluctance towards this journalist". And Jordan Bardella accuses Sophie Dupont of waging a "militant and political fight against" the nationalist party. For the time being, Daily has not reacted. Just like BFMTV, which does not comment.

It should be remembered that relations between the RN, Marine Le Pen and the journalists of Quotidien have been abysmal for several years. TMC's programme may be a daily "infotainment" programme, but the party's press service has repeatedly denied it accreditation. This was still the case, as reported by Le Monde, during the "feast of the nation" organized on May 1 in Le Havre (Seine-Maritime). A selection among the media that is not new for Marine Le Pen. During the presidential campaign of 2022, the one who ran for the Élysée had strongly mocked, between the two rounds, the political line of Quotidien.

«

I have never heard, I think, any of your colleagues complain about the way they were treated even if it is sometimes quite difficult given the number, "had replied Marine Le Pen, in the Eure, to a question on the relations between the RN and the press. Before adding, squeaky and mocking: "There are no journalists at Quotidien (...) This is not a news or journalist program. It's an entertainer, sometimes very funny by the way, it's an entertainment show." A somewhat devastating media sequence for Marine Le Pen which fell at a time when a good part of the political class was "demonizing" her again against the other finalist of the presidential election, Emmanuel Macron.
