INTERVIEW

They still have no horizon of reopening. For fifteen months nightclubs have been closed in France due to the health situation. Professionals in the sector are in despair: 154 nightclubs have already been placed in compulsory liquidation since the start of the Covid-19 crisis. The operators will be set on a possible reopening "by June 15 at the latest", promised the Minister for SMEs, Alain Griset, on BFM Business.

"I am not in contact with all the clubs and all the club bosses, but it is sure that it is a dying economy", wanted to alert Sunday, in the morning of Europe 1, the DJ Bob Sinclar.

"Me, I managed to survive thanks to my copyright", concedes the interpreter of

Love Generation

, who however wanted to express his support for "all the people who work in the discotheques and in the artistic trades and those who support artists, such as assistants. "

"All these people ... there are more than a million in France," he points out.

"I don't know what we can do" 

Bob Sinclar recognizes that it is difficult to imagine a sanitary protocol for closed places, where a large number of people meet, made to dance, sweat, consume drinks in a great promiscuity - "I do not know what we can do "- but he is annoyed by what he denounces as inconsistencies on the part of the executive. "What's quite funny is that there was this little anecdote about swingers clubs that are going to reopen," he recalls. "So there will be social distancing in libertine clubs?"

Small clarification: only libertine places classified in the same category as bars and restaurants were authorized to reopen on May 19, provided they welcome their customers on the terrace.

Swinger clubs listed as nightclubs are not yet allowed to reopen.

"The clubbing place is a community place which is very important to me and sacred because people enter a totally different world," continues Bob Sinclar.

"They go out of their daily life, they meet people, there is no racism, things like that. People are united with the music, go to see a DJ. I find it very important," concludes the musician.
