Petition to ban CNews: the National Assembly will vote in committee on the opportunity for a debate

A petition to remove CNews from French broadcasting has gained over 750,000 signatures, prompting a potential public debate in the National Assembly. The cultural affairs committee postponed its decision until the week of November 9, with a vote expected on whether to discuss the petition or dismiss it. The petition, initiated by Lucas Massoni on June 10, 2026, gained traction following a racially motivated attack in Trappes on October 23, which resulted in one death and several injuries.
