Le Figaro is France's most widely circulated general daily newspaper, founded in 1825, and is part of the Schaak newspaper group. The name of the newspaper comes from the main character Figaro in the famous play The Marriage of Figaro by French playwright Beaumarchais, and it also adheres to the beliefs of the main character - "If criticism is not free, praise is meaningless (Sans la liberté de blamer, il n'est point d't). #039;est point d'éloge flatteur)". Le Figaro, with its right-wing and even right-wing conservative views, is mainly read by highly educated business people and senior staff.
