Leroy Merlin Pulls Ads From Far-Right Site Frontières After Activist Alert

The decision followed a Sleeping Giants alert, drawing boycott calls from RN figures.

Overview

  • On November 17, the retailer said on X that Frontières was immediately added to its advertising block list and that it does not endorse content on the site.
  • Sleeping Giants flagged a Leroy Merlin banner displayed on a Frontières merchandise page and asked whether the placement was acceptable.
  • Rassemblement National politicians and allied influencers urged consumers to boycott the chain and promoted rival options such as Castorama.
  • Frontières director Erik Tegnér posted a video accusing the collective of a harassment campaign intended to dry up the outlet’s revenues.
  • The collective has also pressed Auchan to follow suit and has contacted Orange and SFR about ads appearing on the site.
