French Presidential Candidate Alleges Media Discrimination, Files Complaint with Broadcast Regulator

While his potential opponents are known to the general public and invited on television sets during this election campaign period, Anasse Kazib, a trade union activist, a railway worker by profession, and the candidate of the Révolution Permanente movement for the French presidential election, is erased from the infographics. A discrimination that has prompted his movement to seize the Conseil supérieur de l’Audiovisuel (CSA).
Unlike the other candidates, Anasse Kazib is the only one who has not been invited to television shows like Touche Pas à Mon Poste (TPMP) or on channels like BFM TV and France Info, reports Le Muslim Post. He is not seen in any of the infographics. A blatant discrimination that the Révolution Permanente movement does not intend to let pass. It has therefore launched a reporting campaign to seize the Conseil supérieur de l’Audiovisuel.
In the wake of this, Anasse Kazib has been summoned for a hearing at the police station of the 5th arrondissement of Paris on March 3. He would have "committed or attempted to commit the offense of a demonstration on the public highway" on February 9. While he was presenting his program to students at the Sorbonne, he had to improvise a meeting outside the building, on the Place du Panthéon, because there were not enough places. In addition, he had to face the threat of an extreme-right group.
"It is not the identity groups that threatened the conference of a presidential candidate that (worried) him [...], no, it is the fact that there were hundreds of people who came in support of this Sorbonne conference," explains Anasse Kazib. For its part, the prosecutor’s office is said to have taken the initiative to shed light on this meeting, the candidate said.
