The Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, warned on Tuesday March 12 against “pretexts to attack someone out of pure racism” while Aya Nakamura, who could sing at the Olympic Games, is stigmatized by the far right.
“Be careful of pretexts for attacking someone out of pure racism”launched the minister during a hearing in the Senate. “Attacking an artist for who she is is unacceptable, it is a crime”continued the government member.
Many supports
Aya Nakamura, Franco-Malian star, is stigmatized by the French far right, bristling at the idea that she could sing at the opening of the Olympic Games, as the weekly suggested The Express. His opponents denounce the liberties that the artist takes with the French language, as in “Djadja”, mixing vocabulary and images from the four corners of the world (“I’m not your catin, Djadja, like, in catchana baby, you dead That”).
The star, however, has since garnered a lot of support, including that of the director Thomas Jolly, in charge of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, who said on his networks “deeply shocked by the racism suffered by Aya Nakamura”. The singer, for her part, thanked her community Tuesday on the X network “for support” received.
