Intéressant, dans une société où le journalisme fait naufrage (en mode câlins au pouvoir), que Macron s’attaque brutalement aux seul·es journalistes digne de ce nom.
Macron moves to prosecute journalists who revealed French arms sales in Yemen war

In a far-reaching assault on democratic rights and free speech, the government of Emmanuel Macron is moving to prosecute journalists who have exposed both France’s complicity in Saudi Arabia’s illegal war in Yemen as well as the Macron government’s efforts to cover it up.
The government’s actions are a response to the publication of a report on April 15 by the journalistic organization Disclose, in partnership with The Intercept, Radio France, Mediapart, Arte Info and Konbini. The report includes an internal intelligence report to the president and leading ministers from September last year with precise information on the use of French arms in Yemen. It proves that the Macron government’s claims that it had no evidence that French arms were being used in the war, which has killed tens of thousands of civilians, were lies.
