The cover of Le Point magazine, which portrayed the Turkish president as a dictator, angered the Erdogan government. Groups of Turkish supporters of the Turkish President have threatened kiosk owners to remove the magazine's posters and in some cases covered them with pro-Erdogan posters.

 

"It is completely unacceptable to remove Le Point magazine posters from the newsstands on the grounds that the enemies of freedom do not like them in France as well as abroad. "Freedom of the press has no value: without it, it is a dictatorship," the French president wrote on Twitter.

This was followed by a reply in French by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu.

"Democracy is not limited to accepting insults and lies, it is also the evaluation of the other's sensitivities. Beyond that is hypocrisy. "Against this, the Turkish community in France expresses its citizenship and its democratic reaction," he wrote on Twitter.

"It is incredible! "They think they can practice their censorship in France," Etienne Zerner, the magazine's director, told AFP, adding that he was considering going to court.

In some cases, the intervention of the French police was required to enforce order.
