For an indeterminate number of listeners living in Paris, the Electoral Night of France Inter took a very unexpected tour, Sunday, April 10th. Instead of results and analyzes that followed each other on the antenna, perfectly audible from anywhere else in France, part of the listeners living in the e district of the capital were entitled to a creation Sound of fifteen to twenty minutes, broadcast in loop from 8 pm to 10:20 pm. The assembly alternated an antisystem speech delivered in a voice of course falling by an anonymous presenter, extracts of political declarations, or even sies likely from films, all on a minimalist musical background conferring on this production sound. End of the world atmosphere.

“Friends listeners of the Parisian, has tweeted in the evening Laurence Bloch, the director of France Inter, some of you have been disturbed in listening to our election party. We are absolutely sorry and do Everything to understand what happened and prevent this from happening again. “Monday, the technical services of the radio,” in connection with the competent services of the ARCOM “(the EX-CSA, which delivers the authorizations of The use of the frequencies, the properties of the State), but also the TDF (television of France) operator has launched an investigation to determine the origin and duration of the hacking. The offense not in doubt, Radio France should file a complaint, even if the phenomenon has remained marginal and geographically very limited.

A handicraft device

According to the first findings, a Pirate transmitter has probably been installed on the side of the Buttes-Chaumont, or the Pyrénées-Jourdain district, which made it possible to blur the station signal on the frequency 87.8 (issued from the Eiffel Tower) . The frequency 87.6, added in the East Parisian a few years ago to fight the parasitage caused by the Towercast emitter center installed Porte de Bagnolet, would not have been touched, but the Pirate message could also be broadcast on 107.9 – Without certainty at this point. Listening to the DAB + station (digital terrestrial radio) and on the Internet has not been disturbed, which confirms the hypothesis of a craft device. A Radio France, where we do not want to make too much advertising around this interference operation, we recall that this kind of event is exceptional, even unpublished.

“A piece of ham fat is more efficient than the name of a left candidate on a piece of paper.” “The electoral logic does not twist from the inside but from the outside, and not By voting, but by acting. “” We are no longer at the time of the ortf. But it is always the voice of our masters that we hear on the radio. “Openly political, the purpose issued on purpose on the Frequency of the first Radio de France seems to come from the autonomous movement, but has not been claimed at this stage. Sunday at the end of the day, the collective nantes revolted, carrier of “info on social and environmental struggles”, but also the account of “general information” anti-capitalist Monday morning had, on Twitter, of this hacking, as well as D another, in Lyon, on frequency modulation 100, claimed by “radio anti France”. “Anti-France spits in the electoral soup”, announces the Twitter account of its authors, including “the show” is always accessible on the Internet.
