Overview
- On Monday, September 21, in an interview with Le Parisien that was picked up across national outlets, Adèle Exarchopoulos said she would “do everything to block the Rassemblement National (RN).”
- The actress described the RN as a party of “division and hatred” that she says threatens rights and said the prospect of its victory scares her.
- Exarchopoulos made the remarks while promoting Jeanne Herry’s Garance, a film due in cinemas on Wednesday, September 23, which Herry frames as a restrained portrait of female alcoholism and a story of repair.
- Coverage places the statement in a wider pattern of cultural intervention, noting recent public warnings from figures such as judoka Teddy Riner and earlier mobilizations of artists against the far right.
- The appearance of political remarks during a major film launch could sharpen public debate ahead of the 2027 presidential race and may prompt further public interventions from artists and cultural organizations.
