Emmanuel Macron angered by Anglo-Saxon media - French President Emmanuel Macron has accused Anglo-Saxon media of "legitimizing" violence by their treatment of the fight against radical Islamism in France.

In an article published by the New York Times on Sunday, November 15, journalist Ben Smith writes that he received a call from Emmanuel Macron submitting a complaint arguing that "the Anglo-American press preferred to denounce the French integration system rather than those who committed a series of murderous attacks that began on October 16 with the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty ".
The Elysee Palace had notably expressed its anger at the beginning of November over a column published by the Financial Times. After a call from the presidency and complaints from readers, the British newspaper unpublished the text, entitled "Macron's war against Islamic separatism only increases divisions in France”.
