Héloïse Goy, with Alexis Patri 9:47 a.m., April 11, 2022
The broadcast of the France Inter station was hacked on Sunday evening, the day of the first round of the presidential election, in eastern Paris.
This disruption of the airwaves, which lasted more than an hour, occurred at the time of the announcement of the results of the ballot, in the 20th arrondissement of the capital.
A speech broadcast in a loop for an hour against politicians, technocrats and journalists.
This is what listeners to France Inter in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, in the east of the capital, could hear on Sunday evening.
The FM frequency of the radio station was hacked during the announcement of the results of the first round of the presidential election.
France Inter specifies that a "pirate transmitter blew the frequency of the station".
A technique obviously prohibited.
The station learned of the hacking of its airwaves thanks to a tweet from an individual.

"We are absolutely sorry"
Following these disturbances, which only affected the network covering the 20th arrondissement, the director of France Inter Laurence Bloch spoke on Sunday evening at 10:45 p.m. in a tweet.
"We are absolutely sorry and are doing everything to understand what happened and prevent it from happening again," she wrote.
This piracy has not yet been the subject of any claim and the content of this speech has not made it possible to identify its origin.
Another radio hack took place in the evening.
In Lyon, the 100 FM station was hacked at the same time by the "Anti-France radio" station.
