“We, actresses and actors in the book world, call on all those who recognize themselves in these values to mobilize and raise their voice with determination against the extreme right.” This Monday June 17, many literary figures, including Jean-Baptiste Andréa, launched a petition in which they call to vote against the far right. “On June 30 and July 7, we call to vote and to block the National Rally”write these authors and editors.
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 as well as the photographer Yann Arthus Bertrand.
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, coming from all backgrounds, conveying a great diversity of thoughts and discourse,” they write.
