Resumen de France: : presentation of satirical drawings on television - the limits of the right to exercise humour
On 22 May 2014 the press chamber of the regional court of Paris delivered two judgments which illustrate the subtle appreciation of the right to exercise humour and the limits of freedom of speech on television. In the case at issue, Marine Le Pen, leader of the right-wing �Front National� political party, had summoned both the director of publication of France Télévisions and the presenter of the weekly infotainment programme �On n�est pas couché� to appear in court in respect of the presentation, in two separate broadcasts, of satirical drawings which the complainant found insulting.
