Controversies
editIn 2012, the magazine faced criticism for racism due to its cover titled "Le péril noir", featuring the face of a Sub-Saharan migrant.[6][7]
On 12 June 2015, it published an issue with a homophobic cover saying, "Shall we burn homosexuals?".[8] Due to ensuing global outrage at the incitement of hatred, all copies were recalled.[9]
