Journalists announced on Twitter that Friday's newspaper would not appear, specifying that the employees denounce "the opacity and the absence of strategy while 33 positions out of nearly 200 are threatened".

If the newspaper had so far 12 editions, this social plan will reduce it to only two editions: one for Ile-de-France and a national edition which will be distributed in the region.
