The renowned French actor Omar Sy, star of the popular Netflix series “Lupin”, assured in interviews with different media during the promotion of his book “Viens, on se parle” (Let’s go, let’s talk, in Spanish), that the notions of justice, inequality and fraternity are faltering in France and that it is difficult to be black in his country.
In a live interview with readers of the newspaper Le Parisien, someone asked Sy if it was difficult to be black in France, even for a celebrity like him. After acknowledging that it was a “dangerous question with many nuances,” the actor acknowledged that “of course there are cases in which it is difficult to be black in France.”
On the possible candidacy of the right-wing leader of the National Rally party, Marine Le Pen for the 2027 presidential elections (who assured that Nakamura’s music “is not a beautiful symbol, but a new provocation from Emmanuel Macron, who must wake up every morning wondering how it can humiliate the French people”), Sy assured that his “optimism is wavering a little,” although he remains hopeful.
During last Thursday’s broadcast of the program Le Quotidien, Sy declared that the notions of justice, inequality and fraternity are missing in France, while calling it crucial for the country to “rebuild the sense of the collective.” Regarding the rise of the far right in French politics, he warned against people “spewing hate” and peddling an image of the “France of the past.”
