In doing so, the former mayor of Poissy (Yvelines) violates the instructions of the president of the Renaissance group, Sylvain Maillard, sent on August 11 to his troops, not to respond to the requests of the JDD Bolloré version, while waiting to see how the editorial line evolves. A note of caution after the arrival at the head of the newspaper of the ex-boss of the far-right weekly Current values, Geoffrey Lejeune, but also a form of « respect » vis-à-vis the journalists of the JDDwho had carried out a strike of forty days to oppose this arrival.
Several voices of historical macronists, including that of the former secretary general of En Marche! Philippe Grangeon, have indeed risen, in the heart of summer, to call not to rush and to ensure that the weekly remained in the same temperance before providing any form of guarantee.
“Pretending to regulate the speech of deputies is a challenge”
The « participation » from Karl Olive to JDD, “while this newspaper still does not provide the necessary guarantee of plurality that our group expects”, “does not in any way bind the Renaissance deputies”, reacted Sylvain Maillard on Sunday on X (ex-Twitter). The president of the macronist group will convene the office “back to school to follow up”suggesting a possible sanction.
“The political aims of Mr. Bolloré are hardly in doubtjudges the former president of the group La République en Marche at the Assembly Gilles Le Gendre. Should we therefore consider all or part of the media he owns as political actors in their own right, justifying special treatment? The future will tell. In the meantime, pretending to regulate the speech of deputies is a challenge. »

If the presidential camp is unable to take a collective position on the subject, it is also because the Elysée is standing back. Better: the claimed proximity of Sabrina Agresti-Roubache and Karl Olive with Emmanuel Macron indicates at least a form of presidential tolerance with regard to their initiatives. The Secretary of State thus claims to have “followed the formal proofreading process with the Elysée and Matignon” before the publication of his interview in the JDD. “Our respective firms spoke to each other, no one called me before, and there was no reframing afterwards”, she assures. Karl Olive, who exchanges regularly with Emmanuel Macron, was not discouraged from publishing his column either.
