Petition for CNews closure and anti-CNews mobilizations
At the end of October 2026, a petition launched in June on the National Assembly website calling for CNews to be banned surpassed 130,000 signatures; beyond 500,000, it could be debated in the chamber. The next day, it crossed 200,000 signatures, while two Green MPs called for the withdrawal of accreditation for Bolloré group media. On October 31, during mobilizations, protesters denounced CNews' media coverage of the high school and social movement and brandished numerous placards hostile to the channel.
