Calls to ban RN and LFI from public debate
On October 26, 2026, the LFI mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, declared on LCI that the National Rally should be deprived of a voice in the media in the name of the fight against racism. On October 30, calls to ban a political opponent multiplied: Bruno Retailleau proposed banning France Unbowed, while several observers deemed these proposals unrealistic. The same day, Jennyfer Haas, vice-president of the youth wing of LR, was put on the spot on France Info over possible similar treatment for Reconquête. On November 1, the PS mayor of Paris, Emmanuel Grégoire, said on BFMTV that he was opposed to banning the National Rally.
