This Friday on Franceinfo, Roselyne Bachelot was invited to speak on the situation of the Canal + group, and on the CNews channel.
A TV set boycotted by a number of political figures because of the presence of Eric Zemmour, convicted in particular for insult and incitement to hatred.
If the Minister of Culture considered that it was necessary "to listen to everything, even people with whom we do not agree, otherwise we are not in freedom of expression", she revealed no longer answer to the invitations of the chain.
“So far, I haven't accepted them.
I'm always reluctant to go to people who attack me in this way, ”she explains.
"Canal + manages its affairs as it sees fit"
Roselyne Bachelot was also asked about the tense climate in the Canal + group at the moment, after the layoffs of Sébastien Thoen and Stéphane Guy.
But the Minister of Culture remained cautious.
"Canal + manages its business as it sees fit and I would refrain from intervening in the management of a group like Canal +", she replied in particular.
