Vincent B. Le Corre tells Emmanuel Macron’s team and MP Cédric Villani that the press is waiting for a court to take the McDonald’s case

Minutes after the previous message, Vincent B. Le Corre writes again to the same recipients — the entourage of the President of the French Republic and Member of Parliament Cédric Villani — to pass on the outcome of his approach to The New York Times. He singles out one point as the decisive one: the newspaper, having considered his proposal and discussed it internally with one of its reporters, declined to take the story at that stage, but indicated that it would be more interested if a court of law decided to accept the case and investigate. Vincent B. Le Corre puts this before the President’s entourage as evidence that the international press is not indifferent to the McDonald’s matter, but is waiting for a judicial door to open — the very door that, on his account, the French authorities have kept shut.
