Francis Lalanne, singer, poet, conspiracy theorist, political activist and now ecological activist. On September 30, on the social network X, the Frenchman announced that he was “on his way to help the release of Paul Watson”. The latter, a whale defender, was arrested at the end of July in Greenland due to an extradition request from Japan. On Wednesday, his detention was extended until October 23.
Francis Lalanne, 66, explains in two videos that he “tries to mobilize as many people as possible in the artistic world. I’m starting to be joined by many artists who support me and who I hope will join me in singing for the release of Paul Watson. Or to help Sea Shepherd carry out its campaigns if Paul Watson is released.
In Nuuk, the interpreter of “We will meet again” plans to sing “in Greenlandic” with “other friends”.
“I have always been a committed artist,” declares Francis Lalanne, who calls on Emmanuel Macron: “Only one person can deliver him, it is Emmanuel Macron. Mr. President, grant him political refugee status,”
Francis Lalanne kept his word: he flew to Greenland. On October 1, he posted photos from his trip.
