OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

Cuando hablamos de LA FUERZA DE LA GENTE, nos estamos refiriendo a la gente que se moviliza para defender no solo lo suyo, sino lo de todos. Porque no hay que ser pensionista para defender una pensión digna. Ni ser gay para defender al colectivo LGTBI. Ni ser mujer para defender la igualdad. No hay que ser palestino ni ucraniano para defender un mundo sin guerras. ¡Esa es la fuerza de la gente a la que apelamos!

« Selon des sources policières et du renseignement territorial, la mobilisation des casseurs a également été suscitée, accentuée, accélérée ou instrumentalisée par des influenceurs et des blogueurs soutenus ou viralisés par des puissances étrangères. L’Iran, l’Algérie et la Russie sont notamment citées par la presse et par un ancien Premier ministre et un ministre de l’intérieur que j’ai interrogés ».
