BFMTV: internal tensions and racism accusations after Zemmour show cancellation

On October 25, 2026, BFMTV canceled the broadcast of a show scheduled with Éric Zemmour, the reasons for which are debated. La France insoumise then accused the channel of allowing racist remarks to flourish on air, which BFMTV contests by denouncing a "denigration campaign"; Robert Ménard for his part criticizes the cancellation. On November 2, more than 160 Nextprod employees denounced an "ideological drift" at BFMTV, then the channel announced on November 4 measures to guarantee pluralism while 200 journalists called for measures against the "banalization of racist remarks". On November 5, according to CGTV, Sonia Mabrouk would be calling for a sanction against Igor Sahiri, and BFMTV journalists went on strike for reporter safety and channel credibility.
