Friday 8 and Saturday 9 December 2023, The 37th edition of the Telethon took place. On screen, it was on France 2 and France 3 that viewers were able to closely follow this event. This year, the sponsor of this edition was Vianney. The singer has also shocked many viewers after giving a rant live.
On Saturday December 9, 2023, the interpreter of I am leaving was alongside Léa Salamé and Nagui to a special bonusL. During the live broadcast, the artist pushed a rant against the social movements planned for the end of the year. “I assure you, we will have the SNCF strike at Christmas, we will have all that. We’ll have all the bad stuff at the end of the year. We will have inflation, we will have social movements etc, but there is something that we will have to place separately. The health of our children has nothing to do with all that.”, he begins by explaining. Before continuing: “This is what must come first, this is the world of tomorrow. I believe that inflation should not slow us down, I believe that social problems should not slow us downyes it’s difficult, there are moments that are more difficult than others, but good God, the health of our little ones…”. Comments which were not unanimous among viewers. On X (formerly Twitter) many Internet users reacted: “What’s annoying is that Vianney doesn’t understand that it’s thanks to social struggles that we have collective rights.” “It would be necessary to explain to Vianney that if his wife was able to be reimbursed for hospital care, it is thanks to social security, and social security is there thanks to the struggles and demonstrations… And the demonstrations also serve against the destruction of hospitals, to caregivers…” we can for example read on the social network.

Vianney: this unusual choice of his parents for his education
On December 9, 2023, while participating in the Telethon, Vianney gave an interview to Tele-Leisure on this subject. The singer, who had previously told the media the reasons for his commitment, explained this time that his parents also played an important role in his decision: “My parents always instilled in me this relationship with others. When I was little, they put me in rainbow classes with children with disabilities or Down syndrome. They really wanted to familiarize me with the world of illness and disability. This is their legacy.” A very committed sponsor.
