European Parliament member Sarah Knafo, a prominent figure of the Reconquête party, drew record audiences during a recent interview on the French news channel Franceinfo. According to data from Reconquête, the program averaged 338,000 viewers, representing a 9.3% national audience share. At its peak, the broadcast reached 913,000 simultaneous viewers, with a cumulative audience of 1.2 million people.

The interview was marked by significant tension between Knafo and journalists Simon Le Baron and Audrey Tison. The confrontation escalated when Knafo was questioned regarding her public response to a fatal racist attack in Trappes.

Reports indicated that a deputy editor at the station allegedly offered apologies to Knafo following the intense segment, citing concerns over militant attitudes during the broadcast.
