The new outlet "L'Infiltré," close to the Bolloré media group, had promised to reveal the identity of an alleged traitor who had infiltrated the National Rally (RN). It ultimately backed down without disclosing the announced information, according to Le Monde.
The undelivered announcement nonetheless had repercussions within the party, where it reportedly fuelled a climate of distrust towards the press. Le Monde describes a form of internal paranoia linked to the RN's relationship with certain media outlets.
The episode illustrates the persistent tensions between the National Rally and part of the media landscape, in a context where the party regularly denounces what it sees as attempts at infiltration or destabilisation.
Neither "L'Infiltré" nor National Rally officials provided additional details about the identity of the person targeted or the reasons that led to the dropping of the announcement.
The affair could continue to fuel speculation within the party, as the question of internal loyalty remains a sensitive subject for its leadership.
