Launch of L’Infiltré: the far-right media refuses to reveal its “RN mole”

An article on the "barbouzeries" of Xavier Niel, another on behind the scenes of the visit of Pope Leo XIV, but no information on the supposed "mole of the RN". In its first issue, the new online media L'Infiltré ultimately did not reveal the name of the National Rally (RN) executive who would have notably provided Libération with its recent investigations into Jordan Bardella.

The new far-right weekly on the Frontières site had nevertheless announced this upcoming revelation for several weeks. But the management of L'Inflitré justifies its renunciation in a press release in the context of the "cabal launched by Mediapart against Jordan Bardella", "instrumentalized with the aim of political killing". According to Mediapart, the president of the RN made anti-Semitic remarks in several conversations dated from 2013 to 2015.

In the Bolloré galaxy

“Faced with the power of the left-wing press and the relays at its disposal, (...) we cannot guarantee that our information will be heard for what it reveals,” continues L’Infiltré, which retains the possibility of publishing the information later. The media, which presents itself as a response to investigative media like Mediapart and Le Canard aîné, has relied in recent weeks on the relays that are the media of the Bolloré group. Its editor-in-chief is also called Jules Torres, journalist at the Journal du Dimanche, also a columnist on CNews and Europe 1.

Subscribers to L'Infiltré can, however, read the other articles in this new opinion journal. On its front page, the weekly accuses Xavier Niel, the boss of Free and co-owner of several media outlets, of having orchestrated "the leak of Hélène Mercier-Arnault's comments on 'tramps'". Bernard Arnault's wife had estimated on RTL that being homeless could be a "life choice". These comments had not been broadcast, but were revealed by Mediapart.
