Loading ...French Government Proves JD Vance Right After Silencing Conservative Broadcaster
Much of the progressive establishment believes in democracy only so far as they can exploit the idea as a moral shield for their authoritarian activities…
France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot defended European policies following the criticism by Vance stating: “Freedom of expression is guaranteed in Europe…Nobody is obliged to adopt our model, but nobody can impose theirs on us…”
This, of course, is a lie. The French government went on to prove JD Vance right this week after they finalized a move to shut down conservative French TV station C8. The outlet will cease broadcasting on February 28th after the Council of State, France’s top court, rejected their appeal against the removal of their frequency. The closure of C8 has caused uproar among conservatives in France. The station is owned by Vincent Bolloré, a media tycoon whose conservatism and Catholicism has long made him a hate figure among the progressive left.
French journalists are often fined and even fired for stepping outside the boundaries of acceptable political opinion. There is no freedom of speech in France, just as there is no freedom of speech in most of Europe and the UK.
