The Cultural Affairs and Education Commission of the National Assembly decided on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, to dismiss the petition calling for the removal of CNews from French audiovisual media, despite over a million signatures. The vote was close, with 28 votes against 25. The left-wing groups, MoDem, and some members of the Renaissance party voted in favor of a debate, while RN, UDR, LR, and Horizons voted against. Launched in June by an individual, the petition accuses CNews of being a 'propaganda machine' and calls for the closure of the channel. The deputies rejected the petition, emphasizing that only Arcom and the judiciary can close a television channel according to the law.
