France has just proved JD Vance was right
Story by Gavin Mortimer • 19h
Last week, in a speech at the Security Conference in Munich, American vice-president JD Vance warned Europe about the sanctity of free speech. Evidently the message was lost on the French.
On Wednesday, the Council of State, the Republic’s highest administrative court, confirmed the closure of two television stations. The pair, C8 and NRJ12, had been ordered off-air last year by Arcom, France’s equivalent of Ofcom, the regulator for the communications services in Britain.
It is the closure of C8, which has caused uproar among conservatives and the Right. The station is owned by Vincent Bolloré, the media tycoon whose conservatism and Catholicism has long made him a hate figure among the progressive Left; they talk about the “Bollorisation” of the media, conveniently overlooking that the state-run broadcaster (like the BBC) is staffed overwhelmingly by people who lean to the Left.
