After Kev Adams, Soprano, M. Pokora, Jean-Paul Rouve, Pascal Obispo and Garou, Vianney was chosen to be the sponsor of the Telethon this year. The 34-year-old singer, who himself had to face disability within his family, takes his role very seriously and has been trying for weeks to raise public awareness of this important cause.
During an interview given to journalist Isabelle Morini-Bosc on RTL, the young father, for example, condemned expenses linked to football clubs, thus regretting the fact that public money and donations are not more consistently given to hospitals and doctors.
“Obviously, money is the crux of the matter in this story. But what we also see is that money would be nothing without the talent of the people we have here; there, here, “They’re big names, stars in their field. We need to finance them, it’s not just football clubs that need money to do big things. Here, we see them less than the football clubs, except that they change the lives of thousands of families, and maybe millions tomorrow, so they need our help” lamented the artist.
Vianney slips live on France 2
This Saturday, December 9, 2023, Léa Salamé was in charge of the Telethon broadcast on France 2. Once again, Vianney was asked to speak. “Of course it’s difficult and I reassure you we will have the SNCF strike at Christmas, as usual, we will have all the things that are annoying at the end of the year. We will have inflation, we will have the movements social etc. But there are things that we should still place separately: the health of our children has nothing to do with all that, that’s what must come first! This is the world of tomorrow This is why we are calling for donations. I believe that inflation should not slow us down, social movements should not slow us down. OYes it’s difficult, there are times which are more difficult than others, but good God, the health of our little ones…”.
Comments that caused an outcry on social networksviewers having noted the singer’s lack of empathy for people currently affected by the crisis and inflation. “The idiots don’t thank you, and don’t forget that it’s thanks to the idiots that people can give a little for the Telethon, because the idiots fought to be able to do it” ;“What’s so annoying is that Vianney do not understand that it is thanks to social struggles that we have collective rights”; “It’s still ironic to see 1 guy like #Vianney criticize social security which helps the disabled and sick in a show supporting the sick”;
