As close as possible to those who create
Humanity has always claimed the idea that Culture is not a commoditythat it is a condition of political life and human emancipation.
Faced with liberal cultural policies, which weaken the public service of culture, the newspaper reports on the resistance of creators and all the staff of culture, but also the solidarity of the public.
The unusual, daring, singular biases are the trademark of the newspaper’s culture pages. Our journalists explore behind the scenes of the world of culture and the genesis of works which make and jostle the news.
