French businessman Vincent Bolloré confirmed today, Sunday, that the Grasset publishing house in France will continue its activities despite the wave of boycott announced by several writers.
Commitment to Continue
Bolloré emphasized that the house 'will continue', considering that the withdrawal of some writers will not affect its course, but rather will open the door to attracting new authors.
Criticism of the Boycotters
The billionaire described the boycotters as a 'small group', indicating a minimization of the impact of this step on the future of the house.
Background of the Crisis
The boycott comes in protest against what writers described as political interventions within the prestigious publishing house, sparking widespread controversy in French cultural circles.
Cultural Battle
This debate reflects an increasing tension between some publishing houses and writers in France, against the backdrop of issues of freedom of expression and cultural independence.
