On the street side, on Boulevard des Capucines, in Paris, this Friday, February 23, a few dozen feminist activists shout out to the call of the CGT-Spectacle – “Depardieu we see you!” Doillon, Jacquot, we see you! » – and Anna Mouglalis, who came “support the public utility statement made by Judith Godrèche”, explain : “We all have to make things happen together.
