“By maintaining the kneecap, the organizers transform rock into Sena into a festival of shame.” Yonathan Arfi, president of the Council Representative Council of the Jewish institutions of France (CRIF), asked this Thursday about X the deprogramming of the concert scheduled for Sunday at rock in rock in Seine Du Trio Nord-Slandais Kneecap, committed for the Palestinian cause and accused of supporting Hezbollah.
“Deep the memory of the 50 French victims of Hamas on October 7 as of all the French victims of Hezbollah, including the 58 French soldiers who died on October 23, 1983 during the Drakkar attack (in Beirut, note of the editor). The artists can be compromised, but the apologists of the apologies do not have their place in the festivals in France,” said the crite.
Still confidential a few months ago, the bruises have benefited from a visibility ten times since they made each concert a platform for the Palestinian cause. At the Glastonbury Festival at the end of June, the group accused Israel of being a “war criminal” state.
One of its three members, Liam O’Hanna Dit Mo Chara, is prosecuted for “terrorist offense” after using a Hezbollah flag during a concert in London in 2024. Wednesday appeared on Wednesday in the British capital. The group was also prohibited from entering Hungary at the end of July, where he had to give a concert.
“Without overflows”
In this context, the city of Saint-Cloud has decided to withdraw its subsidy of 40,000 euros in rock in Seine, the first, due to the presence of the group. The “discussions” took place with the entourage of artists to clarify their positions and the organization of rock in Sena had “confirmation” that “there would be no overflows,” he assures the director of the festival.
“Any anti -Semitic apology for terrorism or the call to hatred” will be “subject to legal procedures,” warned the Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, in a letter dated August 14. Then he responded to Caroline Yadan, deputy of the 8th French district established outside France of which Israel is part of the one in the subject.
In France, the trio played Eurockéennes de Belfort and the Charleville-Mézières de Green Cabaret cabaret, without incident.
