Nicolas Dupont-Aignan is the president of the French party Debout la France, and a deputy in the National Assembly. Previously he was Mayor of Yerres, a southeastern suburb of Paris.
In the following video Mr. Dupont-Aignan discusses the piece of EU legislation that goes by the Orwellian name of “European Media Freedom Act”. The unelected panjandrums of Brussels intend to use the Act to implement total control of the media in the member states of the European Union.
The European approach is somewhat different from the one being used in the USA. Here the federal government collaborates with major social media outlets — squeezing them using its regulatory authority when necessary — to privatize the process of suppressing free speech.
Same end, different means.

Video transcript:
| 00:00 | Have you heard of the European Media Freedom Act? | |
| 00:06 | It sounds like something beautiful! It is a regulation prepared by the Brussels Commission | |
| 00:11 | to transfer national competence on the press and the media to the EU’s competence. | |
| 00:19 | That is to say, to create the so-called “inner market”, | |
| 00:22 | they want to remove all competence, | |
| 00:25 | and in particular the famous law of July 1881 in France, | |
| 00:29 | which regulates freedom of the press and is very protective of the press. | |
| 00:33 | They want to put an end to all this and create a European regulation at the European level | |
| 00:40 | with a Committee of the Media. And this Committee of the Media and this new regulation, | |
| 00:45 | which they want to pass before the European elections are held, | |
| 00:48 | provides us with three articles that have prompted the protest of 260 publishers in France | |
| 00:56 | and 62 professional organizations at the European level. | |
| 00:59 | So publishers that are generally more favorable to the European Union, | |
| 01:03 | and yet are outraged. Why? Because there are three very dangerous articles in this case. | |
| 01:08 | First, there is an article 4, which allows, in the name of national security, | |
| 01:13 | to remove the protection of journalists’ sources. | |
| 01:17 | This means that at this point journalists can no longer express themselves, | |
| 01:20 | since they are obliged to disclose their sources. | |
| 01:23 | Secondly, an article 6, which transfers the responsibility of a newspaper’s publisher, | |
| 01:31 | which is responsible for what the journalists write, to each journalist. | |
| 01:35 | And so, each journalist can be attacked | |
| 01:38 | by a company that is not happy, by a politician who is not happy, by Brussels when it is not happy. | |
| 01:43 | Whereas today, in France, it is the publisher who takes the risks | |
| 01:47 | and who, at the same time, controls what is published, | |
| 01:50 | but also protects journalists. | |
| 01:53 | And then, third point, stunning control by the European Commission, | |
| 01:57 | which will be able to ask the GAFAM, that is, social networks, | |
| 02:00 | to censor articles that are not in line with the EU’s stance. | |
| 02:05 | We have never seen that. We have never seen that. | |
| 02:09 | So, of course, there is a huge protest, | |
| 02:15 | but they want to move fast. They want to move fast with the complicity of the member states. | |
| 02:19 | Because the French government and Emmanuel Macron dream | |
| 02:22 | of removing the law on the freedom of press. Because this 1881law on freedom of the press | |
| 02:27 | transfers to the judiciary the choice to decide whether or not there is defamation. | |
| 02:33 | It is not up to an administrative authority. | |
| 02:36 | It is up to a government to decide what is publishable or not. | |
| 02:40 | It is up to the judge. | |
| 02:43 | Last point: while they are preparing this regulation, | |
| 02:46 | the Brussels Commission is financing a new media outlet | |
| 02:49 | that brings together several European media under the direction of German media. | |
| 02:53 | Among these European media, there is “Libération”, which is a model of “partiality”. | |
| 02:57 | And the first issue of this digital information media | |
| 03:01 | will be on Ukraine, in order to fight against disinformation. | |
| 03:05 | So, you see, on one hand, they want to undo national regulations, | |
| 03:10 | they want to control everything at the European level, | |
| 03:13 | they want to be able to censor social networks, and they want to develop their own media. | |
| 03:17 | This is the end of freedom of expression in Europe. | |
| 03:21 | This is why we must fight as quickly as possible. | |
| 03:25 | We must arm ourselves, we must fight | |
| 03:29 | to make this regulation project known, which is obviously not disclosed in most media. | |
| 03:35 | We have a huge job ahead of us, | |
| 03:38 | but you will always find me on your side, when it comes to defending freedom, | |
| 03:42 | like during the COVID period, which is something above the left and the right. | |
| 03:46 | It’s not a question of left or right. |
Whites are a conquered and divided people.
They have not had freedom of speech, association, nor movement in over a century.
The hypocrisy and the deceit is engrained in them.
For example.
Try saying the N word…
But then put on any rap CD and listen to them spew it out a hundred times a “song”
The double, and even triple standards, are part and parcel now of whites culture.
There is no changing it anymore.
Like a lost cause, going to its own slaughter with glee.
Why even bother pretending otherwise?
Those of us of European extraction are far from done, as far as I am concerned, this is just the beginning. There is going to be a crystalizing moment that will define who and what we are that will bring about the turning point where we go on the offensive instead of the defensive we have been under since the 90’s and mass invasion and WEF destroying everything we hold dear. The anger and retribution that is coming is going to be Biblical. Massive violence is the only thing now that will right the ship , because it is obvious, well except those civilized sheep in Britain, that we cannot vote our way out of this mess.
Thanks for this truly breathtaking report, Baron. I hate to say it, but words fail. That is, it’s hard to know what words to offer up (besides sputtering) in the face of such a brazen seizure of power dressed up as “legislation” with a Newspeak label. I wonder if there is any chance it will not pass? Of course, being the EU, they will keep bringing it back until it does.
Gee whiz and golly, who didn’t see this coming? Now the question becomes, so, what the heck are we going to do about it? Even protesting this insanity will make you an enemy of the state and all it’s resources. So again I ask, will you go quietly at the knock at 4 am or take those bastards out and put the fear of God into them? What say you?
European “freedom” and “democracy” have been a breathtaking fraud for quite some time. It is really amazing that so many people still take them seriously.
