The winner of the latest Goncourt Prize, Jean-Baptiste Andrea, and other writers have launched a petition calling for people to vote “against the extreme right” during the early legislative elections.
“We, actresses and actors in the world of books, are driven by values of sharing, transmission, mediation (…). We defend nuance in the face of excess, that which unites rather than that which divides , what opens the future rather than what obscures it”, we read in this petition.
Before calling on “all those who recognize themselves in these values to mobilize and raise their voice with determination against the extreme right. On June 30 and July 7, we call to vote and block the National Rally “.
The author of detective novels Franck Thilliez finds himself alongside Madeleine Riffaud, 99 years old, former resistance fighter, or even comic book authors like Catherine Meurisse, Jul, Louison or Jean-David Morvan. In the world of publishing, Sophie de Closets (Flammarion), Charlotte and Laure Gallimard (Madrigall), the former Minister of Culture Françoise Nyssen (Actes Sud) and Jean-Luc Fromental (Denoël Graphic) are also among the first signatories.
“We want to be able to continue to offer works in complete freedom, from all backgrounds, conveying a great diversity of thoughts and speeches,” they write.
