Guest of the Grand Journal of the evening of Matthieu Belliard on Europe 1, the singer Francis Lalanne evoked his new list of "yellow vests" for the European ones.

INTERVIEW

"Do you really think that I could be insensitive to the revolt of 'yellow vests', that I could stay at home watching these people who love me being torpedoed and slaughtered in the street?" To defend his friends "yellow vests" on the political field, the singer Francis Lalanne decided to lead a list in the European elections. He spoke Tuesday on this new "Yellow Alliance" at the micro Europe 1 Matthieu Belliard.

A fight against the "system"

Everything went to his home from the realization that it needed a political translation to the movement of "yellow vests", which he supports from the beginning: "If we fail to invest the electoral field as we invest the roundabouts, we will not be able to make our action effective ", he describes on our antenna, a few hours after filing the list at the Ministry of the Interior.

This fledgling list already has a well-identified enemy: "We do not come from the system, we are not politicians, we are ordinary citizens, and if people want to concentrate their sanctioning vote on our off-system list, they will finally be able to return this sanctioning vote operating.We will subvert this system.We will use the means of this system against the system, "he insists. He will use the word 'system' twelve times during this interview of about ten minutes.

The desired "warning" to Macron

The "Yellow Alliance" also has an opponent, clearly named: Emmanuel Macron. "It's been seven months that it lasts because there is a guy who thinks that with 13% it is legitimate", Lalanne irritates. "If France decides to put a yellow card to this gentleman, I hope that it will make it possible to succeed in the European Assembly what we have not yet succeeded in our country.This is a warning to him" warns the singer.

" It is normal to be in solidarity with people who are in misery, who are flouted and persecuted "

And Francis Lalanne despairs of rallying other artists to the cause of "yellow vests": "Why they are not with us in the street It is normal to be in solidarity with people who are in misery, who are trampled and persecuted, especially for an artist, "he says, aware (happy?) to bring to the protesters three important things in this four-week campaign:" A financial guarantee, my notoriety and my experience. " For the time being, the various polls on the poll do not place any list above 3%.
