Aya Nakamura, who Emmanuel Macron allegedly asked to sing at the opening ceremony this summer in Paris, caused the bashing of the week. Especially among far-right identity groups, like the Natives and their clearly visible banner on the banks of the Seine: “There’s no way Aya, this is Paris, not the Bamako market.” “Already, Édith Piaf is of Kabyle origin, and if this had been widely known at her time, some would surely have shouted that she was not best placed to represent the France they love,” says the latter.
