LFI Pushes to Cancel Amir’s Brest Show, Producer Denounces Boycott Drive

A local candidate urges urgent deprogramming over alleged far‑right links, with the concert still scheduled for tonight.

Overview

  • Cécile Beaudouin of La France Insoumise called for the Brest Arena concert to be canceled, labeling the booking a shame for the city.
  • Her complaint cites Amir’s 2014 appearance in Hebron and attendance at an event hosted by nationalist figure Yoni Chetboun, alleging support for Israeli security forces.
  • Beaudouin argues that maintaining the show contradicts a municipal vote recognizing a Palestinian state and asks the city and Sem Brest en Vue to act.
  • Diogène Productions, the city of Brest, and Brest Métropole declined to comment, and no cancellation has been announced.
  • Amir has not responded to this latest demand; his label head Antoine Gouyffes‑Yann condemned the campaign as online harassment after earlier boycott calls and security concerns.
