The decision has fallen and is quite lenient. Karl Olive will not be penalized for having published a column in the sunday newspaper end of julyaccording to information from BFMTV.
Deputy Renaissance had ignored Sylvain Maillard’s instructions, the head of the macronistas elected in the National Assemblythat he had asked his troops not to express themselves in the newspaper, now run by Geoffroy Lejeune, long a figure in current values.
The Yvelines deputy, the former mayor of Poissy and former Canal + journalist, Karl Olive, with whom Emmanuel Macron had conducted his first presidential campaign trip in 2022He had signed a text at the end of July in the newspaper entitled: “Let’s smell the cows’ asses!”
In particular, he praised “local democracy and participatory democracy” and called for the end of the ban on multiple terms in Parliament for mayorsone of his warhorses.
A first polemic had already arisen within the majority after an interview with the new Secretary of State for the City Sabrina Agresti-Roubache in the first number of the new JDD formula.
In an attempt to close the issue, Sylvain Maillard had indicated on his X account (formerly Twitter) that Karl Olive’s contribution in no way linked “the deputies of the macronista group”.
“I will meet the Renaissance group office at the beginning of the school year to follow up,” the Parisian deputy had specified.
Therefore, during the meeting on Tuesday, the sanction principle was not maintained, but the line was clarified. Renaissance elected officials may well respond to the JDD but on their own behalf and not on behalf of the group.
If the nuance may seem tenuous, it allows the representatives of the Renaissance not to deprive themselves of this media relay, avoiding embarrassing the majority.
Many observers see in the arrival of Geoffroy Lejeune the hand of Vincent Bolloré, a billionaire with views considered ultra-conservative. Vivendi, Vincent Bolloré’s group that owns Canal+ and its channels (among them CNews and C8), is in the process of absorbing Lagardère, owner of JDD, paris party and Europe 1, after a successful takeover bid.
