Zeynep Ersan: \u00abFree speech and... keeping it!\u00bb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Five years ago now, in September 2018 to be precise, I decided to take the plunge. Since then, I've been reading my favorite dailies and magazines online or via their app. Gone is the paper format I used to devour. But there's an exception to this new habit: Le Regard Libre<\/em>! I couldn't say why. But I'm delighted every month when I find this white A4 envelope with an elegant blue logo in my letterbox. I often open it already on the stairs, impatient as I am, to discover the theme in the spotlight. Whether I like it or not, each issue is a promise of deep and stimulating reflection. Whether or not I agree with the points of view expressed, it doesn't matter. What's essential is the promise of freedom of approach and tone. With this freedom of speech, commitment is honored. With a few rare exceptions... who nourish the desire to debate in person. And so it is that Le Regard Libre<\/em> has recently started organizing themed meetings - and all the better for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lionel Hort: \u00abMore than just a monthly magazine\u00bb.\u00bb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The media landscape in the French-speaking cantons is dreary, and you can count on the fingers of one hand the opinion papers that break this monotony. Le Regard Libre<\/em> is one of them. Depending on your mood, you can browse or find something to satisfy your hunger. The eclecticism of the Regard Libre<\/em>, The diversity of its writers does not detract from the general spirit of the title, which deals seriously with the affairs of the city. A liberal political perspective always enriched by multiple points of view, whether historical, poetic or economic. This willingness to open up readers' horizons of thought, through Swiss and international current affairs reports or interviews with heterodox intellectuals, makes each issue of the Regard Libre<\/em> of interest. Without neglecting the importance of a paper medium committed to the French language, the editorial team also knows how to approach its readership through videos or the conferences it organizes. This personified dimension makes it more than just a monthly magazine. We always read the quotes on the last page first. They represent the aspectuality that makes Regard Libre<\/em>, to whom we wish long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pascal Couchepin: \u00abA refreshing oasis\u00bb.\u00bb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy reading every month Le Regard Libre<\/em>. It's a refreshing oasis in the world of intellectual conformism that the media and, increasingly, certain universities are becoming. Le Regard Libre<\/em> is serious in its analysis, with a strong musical and artistic outlook. Its editorial staff is young, which is pleasant, even if it can provoke irony from veteran academics. Le Regard Libre<\/em> is not reactionary, but inspired by the free spirit of the Enlightenment. It is making its mark, step by step, in the dialogue of ideas in French-speaking Switzerland. Long live Regard Libre<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
