Signed the petition, but what about the papers? Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. --Charu Saxena.
The conflict at Le Monde, as I see it today, can hardly end in a victory for Minc. He was not in fact elected, the editorial staff is now utterly against him, he will end up by going. There's more than a glimmer of hope there.
I don't think France5 will back down over ASI, but the more people sign the petition, the shakier the management will look. Currently it's moving fast, heading for the 150,000 mark. Sign, sign, sign! When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind

My impression of the conflict at Le Monde is that the journalists/editorial staff are firmly anti-Minc and even more so since his "re-election" was driven through in a highly questionable manner. (To get an idea, look at these interviews).
This morning, however, their representatives participated in a supervisory board meeting that elected Pierre Jeantet to the chairmanship of the board of directors, replacing Jean-Marie Colombani. This appointment was negotiated and agreed on in advance (remember the journalists had used their right of veto against Colombani).
The issue of Minc's chairmanship of the supervisory board (a dominant position, since the supervisory board names the board of directors from which flows executive power) has not yet been settled. When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
