Asked about her views on the political turmoil in Israel over the government’s planned drastic overhaul of the judiciary, which has been met by months of mass protests by opponents, Mirren said, “My people are the people who are out demonstrating.”
“If I was here at the weekend I would definitely… find my group in the crowd and I would be there with them,” she said.
But, she noted of the political strife, “it’s not just Israel, is it?”
“It’s so many countries in the world, this sort of weird right-wing wave that is breaking upon the shore of the world and whether it’s some sort of human reaction to the rise of liberalism.”
