Philippe Carli, CEO of Ebra, admitted to liking posts from far-right figures and groups on LinkedIn, prompting significant backlash.
Carli initially claimed his LinkedIn account was managed by someone else but later took full responsibility for his actions.
In a published 'Mea Culpa' statement, Carli apologized to readers, journalists, and employees, emphasizing his commitment to neutrality.
The Syndicat National des Journalistes and other groups had demanded transparency, citing concerns over the group's apolitical editorial stance.
