The leadership of the political movement considered that there was “no attack or personal indictment in this communication campaign”.

The Paris judicial court on Friday March 22 ordered La France insoumise to remove the visuals of a campaign highlighting the France Télévisions editorialist, with opinions presumed to be contrary to the party. “Nathalie Saint-Cricq votes. And you?”is it written on this poster.

La France insoumise was ordered to pay 500 euros in damages to Nathalie Saint-Cricq, for compensation for “the attack on his image rights”his photo having been used. “Political attacks against journalists who freely exercise their profession are unacceptable”estimated Delphine Ernotte Cunci, boss of the public audiovisual group, at the end of February.

A “personal attack”

The Society of Journalists (SDJ) of France Télévisions had also denounced “a personal attack” And “an unacceptable use of his image”during this campaign on social networks, in the run-up to the European elections on June 9.

Questioned by AFP, Manuel Bompard, national coordinator of LFI, assured that“there are absolutely no attacks or personal accusations in this campaign” featuring other personalities such as Pascal Praud, star presenter of the CNews channel. “It’s just about raising awareness among the French about registering on the electoral rolls”had supported the leader of the radical left. “The rich”, “the racists” and even “the golfers” were also pinned, but without a photo, in a street poster campaign by LFI.

“What we want is for everyone to be like Nathalie Saint-Cricq and for everyone to be able to vote”defended MEP Manon Aubry on franceinfo at the beginning of March. “It’s more of a compliment in some way.”
