It is by a very large majority that the drafting of the Sunday newspaper renewed its strike on Wednesday. She protests against the arrival at her head of Geoffroy Lejeune, former editor of the weekly Current valuesand denounced the lack of dialogue with the Lagardère parent company.
Entering its 20th day of strike, the continuation of the movement was voted “94%, in a secret ballot” (89 for, 6 against, 7 blanks and draws), indicated on Twitter the Society of Journalists of the weekly.
The Lagardère group, owner of the title, remains on its positions. He will not return to the appointment as editorial director of Geoffroy Lejeune, support for the far-right candidate Eric Zemmour for the 2022 presidential election.
Dialogue stalled
“Journalists from JDD went Tuesday morning in front of the headquarters of Hachette, during the Lagardère group committee. Despite their mobilization, once again, the management did not respond to these requests, ”recalled the SDJ. The strike prevented the publication of three issues, unheard of in the history of the newspaper. And that of July 16 is compromised, according to a journalist interviewed by AFP on Tuesday.
Lagardère must come under the control of Vivendi, the group of billionaire Vincent Bolloré. The Minister of National Education Pap Ndiaye on Sunday described the businessman as “a character clearly very close to the most radical far right”, attracting the wrath of the media in the Bolloré galaxy.
