Summary.

On June 5 in Avignon, during a citizens' rally in which he participated, Francis Lalanne saw red.

Interviewed by two journalists from the “Quotidien” program who came to cover the event, he refused to comment on the comments made a few days earlier by Jean-Marie Bigard about the former Minister of Health Agnès Buzyn.

The singer would have even hit journalists who subsequently filed a complaint, which he denies.

At 62, the singer known for his hit “We will meet again”, intends to denounce the “health tyranny” orchestrated by Emmanuel Macron.

Anti-mask and anti-vaccine, his speeches take on conspiratorial accents.

The one who is committed to the movement of yellow vests launched an appeal last January to dismiss the head of state.

Code source traces the career of this artist with many faces, with Sylvain Merle from the culture department of Le Parisien.
