On Tuesday, Mathilde Panot, president of the La France insoumise group in the National Assembly, said that in the future, "no La France insoumise MP should publish books with publishing houses owned by Bolloré." This statement specifically addresses Aurélien Taché, an LFI MP who plans to publish a book with Fayard in October. On September 15, Mathilde Panot distanced herself from Aurélien Taché's decision to have his upcoming book published by Fayard, a company owned by billionaire Vincent Bolloré. Taché, who represents Val-d'Oise, is set to publish a book titled Le Français, une langue africaine on October 14 in the Pensée Libre collection, which is directed by Sonia Mabrouk. Mabrouk previously worked as a star journalist for CNews, a channel owned by Bolloré, and now works for BFMTV. Mathilde Panot explained that she had been "informed" by Taché of his decision to publish with Fayard. She told Franceinfo, "I think that in the future, no La France insoumise MP should publish books with publishing houses owned by Bolloré." She added that LFI supports independent publishing houses and creators who oppose Bolloré's influence on creative freedom. Fayard, the publishing house in question, currently publishes books by notable figures such as Jordan Bardella, Nicolas Sarkozy, Sarah Knafo, and Philippe de Villiers. In July, Taché defended his choice, stating to Streetpress that if using Bolloré media helps spread ideas about the decolonization of the French language, then it is acceptable. However, this reasoning did not satisfy the LFI leadership. Earlier this year, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the presidential election candidate for La France insoumise, promised a "media liberation law" if he came to power. In a video published online, he said the law would focus on breaking up monopolies, particularly the Bolloré monopoly.
