Question 31211 — arts and entertainment

Summary

Ms. Florence Provendier draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery to the extremely precarious situation in which DJs find themselves due to the health crisis. In France, the nightlife sector represents 1 billion euros in turnover, 1,600 establishments and 45,000 jobs. Since March 14, 2020, the sector has been completely shut down due to the administrative closure to stop the spread of the covid-19 virus. This sector employs many artists including DJs who depend, without being employees, on these nightclubs. For them the situation is becoming increasingly difficult because they cannot benefit from the various aid put in place by the Government to support economic activity and employment. The precariousness of DJs is a reality made worse by the health crisis that many hoped would end for the summer season, peak of their activity. Despite the end of the state of health emergency, festivals, weddings and other summer events have not resumed, completely eliminating the possibilities of finding other sources of income. DJs are key players in cultural life and entertainment in the regions. France is one of the most prolific talent pools in electronic music with a acclaimed scene all over the world. As proof, in 2019, 40% of music exports were made in this genre. It seems unreasonable not to support these artists in an unprecedented difficult situation which seems far from over. She asks him to please consider the possibility of opening a solidarity fund to help DJs survive until activity resumes.
