The POLITICO website has come under criticism for admitting that it redacted French President Emmanuel Macron’s more “frank” statements on the issue of Taiwan after being pressured by the Elysée Palace.
Following his state visit to Communist China last week, President Macron gave an interview to journalists from the German-0wned American website POLITICO, as well as members of the French press.with the website spurred international backlash over the French leader’s apparent disregard for the alliance with the United States, including on Europe’s continued use of the American dollar as a reserve currency and saying that the EU should not “follow” the U.S.
However, apparently, even more controversial comments were cut from the POLITICO article at the request of Macron’s administration. In aat the bottom of the article, the website claimed that “as is common in France and many other European countries, the French President’s office, known as the Elysée Palace, insisted on checking and ‘proofreading’ all the president’s quotes to be published in this article as a condition of granting the interview.
“This violates POLITICO’s editorial standards and policy, but we agreed to the terms in order to speak directly with the French president. POLITICO insisted that it cannot deceive its readers and would not publish anything the president did not say. The quotes in this article were all actually said by the president, but some parts of the interview in which the president spoke even more frankly about Taiwan and Europe’s strategic autonomy were cut out by the Elysée,” the footnote added.
