Overview
- Paris’s criminal court cleared Enthoven of the public-insult charge filed by La France insoumise over his May 2024 post on X.
- The ruling cited the Saint-Étienne incident involving Raphaël Glucksmann and a pattern of earlier controversies tied to LFI as contextual grounds.
- Magistrates recognized the statements as injurious in tone but admissible given their factual basis and connection to a broader civic debate.
- LFI’s complaint seeking €10,000 in damages was rejected in full, with the party’s claims dismissed.
- Enthoven reaffirmed his accusation after the verdict, while LFI condemned the decision as scandalous and said it is seriously weighing an appeal.
