French parliamentary inquiry becomes far-right attack against public media

A routine French parliamentary inquiry into public broadcasters has devolved into a high-profile political clash, amplifying far-right attacks on public media. Led by 32-year-old Charles Alloncle, the probe has drawn widespread attention through vociferous hearings and viral social media clips. Critics warn it risks undermining trust in public broadcasters, such as FRANCE 24, and advancing plans to privatise the sector if the far right gains power.
