Francis Lalanne (born Francis-José Lalanne on 8 August 1958 in Bayonne) is a French-Uruguayan singer, songwriter and poet. He is the brother of composer and film director .

Free Art[]

He opposed the HADOPI law[1] in 2009 and has supported the French free software community saying that the purpose of art is not to make money but conscience, and it is the duty of any author to promote the free dissemination of this conscience.[2] He wrote the book Révoltons-nous, published in August 2011 under the free art license.[3]

Political commitment[]

Francis Lalanne was several times a candidate in elections under the ecological banner, was a supporter of the yellow vests movement.[4] He led a Yellow Alliance list in the European elections of May 2019, obtaining 0.54% of the votes.[5]


On June 5, 2021, during an interview by journalists of the program Quotidien, he raises the tone towards the cameraman Paul Bouffard and the journalist Paul Larrouturou, come to make a report on the citizens' universities in Avignon, the cameraman not having switched off his camera following the request of Francis Lalanne.

A montage of the recording was broadcast on the internet on June 7.

On the video, the image shows Francis Lalanne in the course of an interview, he gets up and goes to the camera to try to enforce his request to stop the video recording. The camera is still recording. A montage of the recording is broadcast on the internet on June 7. The journalists of Quotidien claim that Francis Lalanne physically attacked the cameraman.

The montage shows a verbal altercation and camera movements that subjectively can be interpreted as the cameraman being manhandled, but nothing proves it.

The cameraman and the journalist consulted doctors once they returned to Paris. The doctors diagnose a head trauma and a post-traumatic tendinitis in the left shoulder for Paul Bouffard, and a sprain in the right wrist for Paul Larrouturou. Quotidien filed a complaint against Francis Lalanne. Francis Lalanne formally denies having hit the journalists, and his lawyer Emmanuel Ludot declares that it is "a crude staging to which Quotidien is accustomed.

In the absence of images showing without ambiguity a physical aggression, it is up to justice to decide. All French citizens benefit from the presumption of innocence as long as they have not been judged.
