Artpress Editorial Protests State Censorship in France

In a February 2004 editorial titled "Ca suffit ! On est assez grands" (Enough! We are old enough), Jacques Henric, writing for artpress, denounces a new incursion of the "Papa State" into cultural affairs. The editorial references a protest text published in Le Monde, co-authored by Marcela Iacub and Patrice Maniglier, as well as an issue of the journal Le Nouvel Âne edited by Jacques-Alain Miller and Judith Lacan. The piece argues against state interference in artistic and intellectual expression, asserting that the public is mature enough to engage with controversial content without paternalistic oversight.
