France considers banning Kanye West's concert in Marseille
法國考慮禁止肯伊·威斯特在馬賽舉辦演唱會
In a significant move, rapper Kanye West, known as Ye, decided to postpone his upcoming concert at the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille, France, originally set for June 2026.
在一項重大舉措中,饒舌歌手肯伊·威斯特(Kanye West),現在稱為「Ye」,決定將其原定於2026年6月在法國馬賽奧蘭治韋洛德羅姆球場(Orange Vélodrome)舉辦的演唱會延期。
The decision came amid intense pressure from French authorities, including Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, who was actively seeking legal grounds to ban the show.
這項決定是在法國當局的巨大壓力下做出的,其中包括一直積極尋求法律依據來禁止該演出的內政部長勞倫特·努涅斯(Laurent Nuñez)。
The controversy stems from West's history of antisemitic remarks, including his controversial song release in 2025.
此爭議源於威斯特過去的反猶太言論,包括他在2025年發布的爭議歌曲。
Marseille Mayor Benoît Payan led the local opposition, stating he would not allow the city to host someone who promotes hatred and Nazism.
馬賽市長伯努瓦·帕揚(Benoît Payan)帶頭進行了地方層面的反對,表示他絕不允許該市接待一名宣揚仇恨與納粹主義(ㄋㄚˋㄗㄨˋㄓㄨˇㄧˋ)的人。
While concert organizers argued that they could implement measures to ensure compliance with French laws, the political backlash proved insurmountable.
儘管演唱會主辦方辯稱,他們可以採取措施確保遵守法國法律,但政治反彈已難以克服。
Ultimately, West chose to postpone the event "until further notice" to avoid placing his fans in the middle of a heated political conflict.
最終,威斯特選擇將活動「延後至另行通知」,以避免讓他的粉絲陷入激烈的政治衝突之中。
This situation highlights the complex tension between freedom of expression and the strict legal standards French authorities use to protect public order and prevent hate speech.
這種情況凸顯了言論自由與法國當局用於維護公共秩序及防範仇恨言論之嚴格法律標準之間,複雜的緊張關係。
