Contrary to what was looming, Jean-Michel Salvator will not finally take the head of the management of the drafting of current values. Impossible in current conditions, according to him. He therefore said on Wednesday October 26, on Wednesday, October 26, at the Franco-Lebanese shipowner Iskandar Safa, shareholder of the weekly since 2015, that he was throwing in the towel. Former Figaro, where he worked alongside Nicolas Beytout, Etienne Mougeotte and Alexis Brézet, themselves representatives of different currents who roam the right, Mr. Salvator counted current values ”a liberal newspaper on the economy, Uninhibited right, but not extreme right “. An editorial line more moderate than that printed by Geoffroy Lejeune, thirty -something assuming as “react”, daily invited on the CNews channel, under the control of Vincent Bolloré.
It was without counting on the internal mobilization that the young editorial director has set up around his person with the support of a large part of the editorial staff. The journalist, promoted in 2016 editorial director, at 27, took public opinion by witness by publishing a text and a video on Tuesday, in which he asks readers to help the newspaper with fragile economic health.

“Dear readers, with current values, we have become used in recent years to advance under the grapeshot”, begins to say Geoffroy Lejeune, in the foreground – while the editorial staff appears behind him Row of onions, in front of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, a few steps from the premises of current values.
“behind the boss”
For four minutes, the relative of Marion Maréchal and several figures of the ultra-conservative newspaper depict the weekly as a victim of “the press, the left and certain policies”, which according to them, “our weakening, Our renunciation, our death “. Mr. Lejeune conspires “a destabilization”, hopes 15,000 new subscribers by the end of the year, all this accompanied by an anxiety -provoking musical theme and the hashtag #jesuis àpourva. “We naturally got behind the boss,” said journalist Jules Torres, who has covered the campaign of the Reconquer leader and has since published Zemmour, in the secret of his campaign, a benevolent work.
“The union around Geoffroy was simply done, he did not put the pistol on the temple”.
It is after having seen this video “in the Zemmourian register” that Mr. Salvator tells the world to have given up because it is “a putsch of the editorial office” and a “affront to the ‘shareholder “. “They took readers and social networks to witness by saying:” We are there, we stay there “, they went far too far,” analyzes the former editorial director of the Parisian. “It is unprecedented to see an editorial staff take power as well and seize a newspaper to make it the instrument of a political party,” he reacts again.
