Lahav Shani à Bruxelles, Groen appelle au boycott culturel

L'appel de Groen à boycotter la salle du chef d'orchestre israélien Lahav Shani à Bozar relance une controverse sensible en Belgique. En dénonçant une programmation jugée « inappropriée », le parti écologiste place la culture au cœur du débat politique. Une position qui, tout en affirmant une ligne claire, suscite des interrogations sur ses implications.

Israeli-born conductor Lahav Shani performs with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, during the Festival of Joy concert, outside of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, on May 8, 2018. The Munich Philharmonic orchestra's performance at a Belgian festival has been cancelled over concerns about its Israeli conductor, organisers said on September 10, 2025, sparking a furious reaction from Berlin. The Munich Philharmonic had been due to perform on September 18, 2025 at the Flanders Festival Ghent, led by its future chief conductor, Israeli musician Lahav Shani. But Shani, who officially takes over as conductor of the Munich orchestra for the 2026/27 season, is currently music director of the Israel Philharmonic. As a result, festival organisers said they were "unable to provide sufficient clarity about his attitude" towards the Israeli government, whose ongoing war against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza has triggered international uproar.
