SNCF's Refusal to Advertise Bardella's Book Sparks Censorship Debate

The SNCF's advertising arm cites neutrality policy in rejecting ads for Jordan Bardella's book, igniting accusations of political bias.

  • Jordan Bardella's book, 'Ce que je cherche,' will not be advertised in French train stations due to SNCF's neutrality policy.
  • The decision has led to allegations of censorship, with Bardella and allies claiming political bias against right-wing figures.
  • Mediatransports, the SNCF's advertising agency, argues that promoting a current political leader's book violates neutrality principles.
  • Critics, including Eric Ciotti, suggest a double standard, citing past advertisements for books by other political figures like Sarkozy and Royal.
  • The controversy has amplified media attention on Bardella's book, potentially increasing its public visibility ahead of its November 9 release.
