French MPs face petition to revoke CNews license after Trappes attack

A viral petition following a racist attack in Trappes (one dead, seven injured) calls on French deputies to revoke CNews's broadcast license, citing 27 warnings and €630,000 in fines since 2019. The channel, owned by Vincent Bolloré, faces renewed political pressure, though removal would require regulatory action beyond parliamentary petition. This reflects escalating tensions over media regulation and far-right influence in France.
