“I will fight until the end. » Jean Messiha, former national delegate of the National Rally, former member and spokesperson for Reconquête!, Eric Zemmour’s party, is at war against the Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication (Arcom). “They want to silence me”proclaimed the fifty-year-old on his X account, but also in the show “Touche pas à mon poste”, Thursday November 23.
