Writers Protest Publisher's Rightwing Owner

Over 100 writers have resigned from a French publishing house in protest against its owner, Vincent Bolloré. In an open letter, the authors criticized Bolloré for promoting reactionary and far-right ideologies. They stated their refusal to be "hostages in an ideological war," highlighting a significant rift between creative professionals and the ownership's political leanings. This mass exodus underscores a growing tension over editorial independence and the influence of political views on media content.
