Dupuis Situation: Spirou in Trouble?

This article is written in such a way I have hard time separating the wheat from the chaff, but I think what it adds to the ongoing struggles at Dupuis under the accused-of-being-chafing ownership of Media-Participations is recognition that a period of instability and reform might call into question the future of Spirou, the absolute institution of a comics magazine that probably isn't that profitable anymore. Because of Spirou's cultural status, it seems like it may also be the poster child when it comes to questions of company autonomy, issues that look to have a Belgium vs. France element. Anyway, I thought it was sort of interesting given how the rhetoric develops around one of these battles. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about my reading of this French-language piece, which is always likely.
