Greek cinema professionals are raising concerns about the potential for fascism, warning that media mogul Vincent Bolloré seeks to control cultural life and steer societies towards far-right ideologies.

A petition against Vincent Bolloré, related to his influence on French cinema and Canal+, has reportedly stumbled at Cannes. Editorials and analyses discuss the petition's merits and the vital financial role Canal+ plays for the industry.

Conservative billionaire Vincent Bolloré announced he would seek new authors for Grasset publisher after approximately 170 writers left, blaming his influence for the departure of the chief executive. Bolloré described the departing authors as "a small caste that believes itself above everything and everyone."
