Musician Nile Rodgers has spoken out in a statement on social media against a song used by the right-wing populist party SVP. The number is very similar We Are Family that Rodgers made with the group Chic.
“I have We Are Family written as the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation,” he writes.
“I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People’s Party) or anyone else who does not adhere to the values of the song. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to everyone without exclusion!”
The right-wing populist party SVP speaks out against immigration and Islam, among other things. Rodgers reports that attempts are being made to ban the party from using the number any longer.
