Ultia

Ultia is a streamer who was recently appointed to a commission within the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC), a French institution dedicated to cinema and animated images. She has become newsworthy due to her subsequent removal from this commission. The CNC terminated her functions "with immediate effect" following comments she made live on Twitch, where she allegedly discussed biased selection criteria, suggesting preferential treatment towards friends. This led to accusations of partiality and potential conflict of interest. Some interpret her removal as a sign of panic within cultural circles regarding the potential rise of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) party in France, though the direct link between the two is not explicitly stated in the provided articles. Her case highlights concerns about transparency and fairness in the selection processes of cultural institutions and the influence of personal relationships.
