From a sociology article on early AIDS drugs:
Après avoir refusé de participer a cet essai qu'il qualifiait d'inutile, celui-ci profita de la controverse pour critiquer ouvertement la politique de recherche mise en place par l'ANRS. La polémique générée par les résultats de Concorde n'était pour lui qu'une prise thématique lui garantissant un auditoire attentif.

French term (edited):
prise thématique
taking up the theme
I would change the sentence round a bit, rather something like
"taking up the theme was only a way to use the polemic generated by the results of Concorde to guarantee him an attentive audience"
"taking up the theme was only a way to use the polemic generated by the results of Concorde to guarantee him an attentive audience"
