"L'extrême droite n'aime pas la culture"

Overview of the Controversy

The subtitles describe a controversy in the city of La Flèche, led by Romain Le Moigne (the National Rally, RN, mayor). During a budget vote, the segment alleges that Le Moigne attacked local culture.

According to the report, he reduced the city’s subsidy to “Le Carois,” which is presented as the town’s main cultural organization.

Alleged Motivation Behind the Cuts

The video then uses examples of cultural programming—especially feminist and provocative performances—to suggest that the mayor’s stance may stem from discomfort with this type of expression.

The commentary highlights:

• Claire Méchin, a performer who reinterprets popular songs through a feminist lens
• Comedic and artistic material that plays on sexual themes (e.g., references to “erections” and “period”)

The implication is that these shows are not being supported and are instead being targeted through budget cuts, with the narration framing this as hostility toward cultural and feminist projects.
