After CNews, Paris Première has decided to suspend its collaboration with polemicist Eric Zemmour because of the counting of his speaking time imposed by the CSA, the pay channel having announced on Tuesday the replacement of its show "Zemmour & Naulleau" from 29 September.
The political show, which was to make its comeback next Wednesday under the leadership of the Eric Zemmour - Eric Naulleau tandem, will give way to "Restons Zen", still presented by Anaïs Bouton, who will arbitrate "debates without language of wood", according to a statement.
Eric Naulleau will for his part "each week facing a different opponent", adds the channel of the M6 group.
This decision follows that of the CSA, "made public on September 8 to count the interventions of Eric Zemmour on the national political debate as coming under a political personality", she specifies.
Regarding the show, "Alba Ventura will present behind the scenes of the politics of the presidential campaign version and Sandrine Sarroche will put a grain of salt with her very personal chronicles in song", adds Paris Première.
Last week, CNews had decided for the same reasons to give up the interventions of Eric Zemmour, his audience engine since 2019, in "Face à l'info".
Eric Zemmour, who no longer hides his presidential ambitions for 2022, without having declared himself a candidate for the time being, is presently omnipresent in the media and crisscrosses France to promote his book "France did not say his last word ", released last Thursday.
