This Monday, November 13, 2023, the Belgian actress Lubna Azabal, president of the collective “Another voice” launched an appeal via the magazine Télérama to organize a silent march to denounce anti-Semitism and bet on the union of all Jewish, Muslim, Christian, atheist and agnostic citizens. In the end, 500 artists like Julie Gayet, Agnès Jaoui, Isabelle Adjani and Alex Lutz responded to this call.
This Friday, November 17, 2023, Julie Gayet spoke on the subject when she was invited on the set of the show C à vous. Facing Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, the actress then explained that it has become complicated for artists to express themselves in a period when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict divides. She notably cited Lionel Jospin and pointed out a “feeling of regression, of losing our humanity, of being faced with a period where there are no more nuances, or we have to choose our clan.”
“We have the feeling of being faced with a period where there is no longer any nuance, artists are afraid because they are being insulted on social networks. This march is another way of expressing ourselves because that we can’t do it” she said. “We found ourselves together and it did us a lot of good. We need to be able to mobilize more widely […] the idea of a silent, apolitical march, without slogans was born.
