Cannes (France), Jul 6 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Marco Álvarez San Román). Spike Lee showed up to the Cannes jury press conference reluctant to speak much but delivered biting statements as he denounced that Black people are still “being hunted down like animals” and the lack of morals of certain world leaders he called “gangsters.”FOOTAGE OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE.SOUNDBITES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE OFFICIAL JURY IN CANNES:Spike Lee (President of the Official Jury), in English:Kleber Mendonça Filho (member of the Official Jury), in English:Maggie Gyllenhaal (member of the Official Jury), in English:Mélanie Laurent (member of the Official Jury), in French:5.- "I dream for everyone that this is the first and last festival in which there is a debate about women. I don't know, I'm a bit naive. But if we could let the planet breathe and let women breathe at the same time and that there are no more debates, no more absurdities, and no crazy things then it would be wonderful. And it is wonderful that a festival proposes so many strong documentaries and films about ecology because, ultimately, cinema is a weapon that transforms people and makes them change".
Brussels, Mar 25 (EFE), (Camera: Dani Rovirosa).- For the co-president of the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly the Euro MEP Javi López there is no doubt that "the two biggest problems for the resolution of the trade agreement" between the European Union (EU) and Mercosur are "the French elections and the presidency of Bolsonaro" in Brazil. SOUNDBITES OF JAVI LÓPEZ, CO-PRESIDENT OF THE EURO-LATIN AMERICAN PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY:"I think that nowadays the two biggest problems for the resolution of the trade agreement are first, French elections. French elections will determine any decision from the French government or the presidency. Secondly, the presidency of Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro, its figure, causes great distortion in terms of politics and public opinion. And this is an important issue."
