France Inter, a major public radio station in France, has made a change in its political editorial team. Hadrien Brachet, who previously served as deputy editor-in-chief of the political department at Le Point, has taken over the 7:40 a.m. slot from Charles Sapin. This change took place on Sunday, September 27. Brachet’s first commentary focused on the potential consequences of the disappearance of overlapping mandates, a topic that could affect the Senate’s ability to implement locally grounded and experience-based policies. Brachet was brought in urgently to replace Sapin, whose presence on public radio had led to a strike by the station’s staff. Sapin, who was deputy director of the far-right magazine Valeurs actuelles, had previously faced legal consequences from the courts. Additionally, he had refused to turn the commentary into a debate format, which had caused further tensions. The management had defended Sapin’s hiring by emphasizing the importance of "pluralism" in the approach to the 2027 presidential election. This decision comes a few months after a parliamentary inquiry commission initiated by the UDR group, which accused Radio France and the broader public audiovisual sector of lacking neutrality. The term "pluralism" has become a focal point for different political perspectives, highlighting the ongoing debate over media neutrality and representation in public broadcasting.
