Journalist Léa Salamé has undergone professional adjustments at France 2 following the announcement of her partner Raphaël Glucksmann’s candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. 

Initially, Salamé continued her work on the weekly talk show “Quelle époque !”, though she was restricted from discussing political topics to avoid conflicts of interest. 

Subsequently, Salamé stepped back from presenting the 20:00 news to maintain the impartiality of the public broadcaster. Pascal Doucet-Bon, the mediator for France Télévisions, confirmed that while she remains an employee, the portion of her salary linked to the 20:00 news has been removed, resulting in reduced income.
