The screening of Barbie, scheduled for 8 August in the suburb of Noisy-le-Sec, has been cancelled after organizers received threats of violence from a minority group who believe the film promotes LGBT stories. The authorities reacted firmly, with the interior minister stressing that such pressure is unacceptable in France. The local mayor denounced the actions as the actions of an extremist minority and vowed to defend cultural freedom, announcing that he would press charges against the threats. The incident reignited the debate about freedom of expression and the influence of religious pressures on art.
