Canal+ threatens to cut ties with 600 industry professionals over petition

The head of Canal+, France's biggest film producer, announced Sunday that the group would cease working with 600 industry professionals who signed a petition against right-wing billionaire owner Vincent Bolloré, according to RFI English.

The threat escalates tensions between the media group and French cinema workers over ownership and editorial direction. The petition signatories object to Bolloré's political positioning and influence over the production company's operations.
