Annie Ernaux: France's crackdown on student protests is 'a fascist method'
Annie Ernaux still feels like an outsider
Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux speaks out on the French government's response to student protests, calling the police violence a 'fascist method' and warning that democracy is slipping away. She also reflects on her working-class roots, her decades-long project to 'avenge my people,' and why she still feels like an outsider despite the Nobel Prize.
It is just repression, repression, repression. It’s a slippery slope. You can no longer speak of a democratic state. There is no democracy.
