Éric Zemmour gained media support after October 17, but Arcom is now investigating his controversial statements.
Zemmour's statements after October 17
Following the day of mobilization on October 17, Éric Zemmour was endorsed by continuous news channels and did not hesitate when identifying, in his view, those responsible for the looting and damage incurred on that day. Arcom’s delayed response

A few months ago, the regulator decided, according to information from Mediapart, not to sanction CNews for racist and conspiratorial statements by the Reconquête candidate. This decision was made despite the opinion of the independent rapporteur before the Council of State. Legal action initiated
After other problematic statements from the commentator post-October 17, Arcom has finally turned to the courts. This marks a significant shift in the regulator’s approach to handling Zemmour’s remarks on news channels.
