The editorial staff of “Marianne” goes on strike to oppose the takeover of the weekly by billionaire Pierre-Edouard Stérin, presented as close to the RN

This strike comes the day after the publication of an article in the newspaper “Le Monde”, which reveals that several LR-RN candidates in the legislative elections come from the “Stérin galaxy”.

The Society of Weekly Editors Marianne announced in a press release on Thursday, June 27 broadcast on Xthat she had voted “a renewable 24-hour strike, which will begin Friday June 28 at 6 a.m.”. Repulsed by press articles claiming that billionaire Pierre-Edouard Stérin had links with the National Rally, the editorial staff ultimately opposed him buying the magazine.

“What appeared to be an individual ideological commitment turns out to be a partisan enterprise,” had estimated, Thursday in a first press release, the society of editors of Marianne. The editorial staff therefore “pronounced unanimously (…) against the takeover of the magazine by Pierre-Edouard Stérin”reversing a previous vote on June 21.

This spectacular about-face comes the day after an article in World entitled “How billionaire Pierre-Edouard Stérin places his pawns at the RN”. In this article, the daily newspaper assures that several LR-RN candidates in the legislative elections come from the “Stérin galaxy”by being notably linked to the Common Good Fund, a philanthropic structure created by the 50-year-old billionaire at the head of the Otium Capital investment fund.

The world also cites another article from the magazine Challengesaccording to which Mr. Stérin and the number 2 of Otium, François Durvye, bought in November the family property of the Le Pen in Rueil-Malmaison, via a civil real estate company (SCI). According to Challengesthis property, where the founder of the FN Jean-Marie Le Pen still lives, was sold for 2.5 million euros.
