"Grasset will continue, and those who are leaving will allow new authors to be published, promoted, recognized, and appreciated. I am a Christian Democrat, and Hachette's management will continue to publish all authors who wish to be published."
"A small caste that believes itself above everything and everyone, and that co-opts and supports itself, is responsible for the protest. While Grasset's turnover fell by 25% in 2025, Nora's salary increased significantly."
Vincent Bollore, owner of Hachette, pledged to find new authors after 170 left Grasset in protest against alleged political interference. The protest followed the departure of CEO Olivier Nora, blamed on Bollore's conservative views. Bollore expressed surprise at the uproar and stated that Grasset would continue with new authors. He criticized Nora's tenure and defended his management approach, identifying himself as a Christian Democrat. The departure of authors, including notable figures, reflects tensions over ideological shifts in the publishing house.
