In her speech at the podium, she denounced “the falsehoods that are heard all over the media.”
An amendment adopted in committee, which she submitted with Jean-Franรงois Copรฉ, president of the special commission, and Christian Kert, rapporteur of the bill, will allow for the same process for dismissing the president of France Tรฉlรฉvision as for appointing them: a binding opinion from the CSA and approval from the parliamentary cultural committees.
Muriel Marland-Militello also recalled all the guarantees that the deputies and the government have taken to ensure the sustainability of funding for public television. She also urged the deputies to lift the taboo of raising the audiovisual license fee, a dedicated revenue that symbolizes viewers’ commitment to their public television, which belongs to everyone and is the property of no one.
According to the Nice Deputy, “thanks to the removal of advertising on public channels, a true public service can finally assert itself, with complete freedom and independence, and offer enjoyable and quality programming to French viewers during prime time.”
