Everywhere, Rachida Dati made official as the new Minister of Culture promises to be a surprise.
Rachida Dati, Minister of Culture? “Go Girl” exults Carla Bruni; “Naaaan” chokes Anna Mouglalis
A great surprise for loved ones Carla Bruni who shared a story on Instagram with the caption “ Go girl » and the credits of Friends “ I’ll be there for you » as a soundtrack.
But a terrifying surprise for many others, like the busy French actress Anna Mouglalis.
But it is precisely Anne Hidalgo’s reaction that turns out to be the most glaring and alarming truth.
Rachida Dati, Minister of Culture? “Good luck” wishes half Anne Hidalgo
Indeed, the current mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, published the following message in an Instagram story on January 11, 2024 (the day of Rachida Dati’s nomination):
“I wish good luck to those who work in the world of culture for the challenges they will have to face with the appointment of Rachida Dati as Minister of Culture. »
Without any misunderstanding, therefore, the socialist councilor not only addressed the person the media loves to present as his political rival, but also summarized the alarming political situation that is looming, especially for the world of culture.
Not only is Rachida Dati currently under investigation for ” passive corruption”, “passive influence” and “concealment of abuse of power” in the Carlos Ghosn case. But she is also known for her particularly conservative positions. Although the creative industries are at the center of #MeToo, this does not bode well for cultural progress.
Alice Coffin expects Rachida Dati to defeat men like Darmanin and Dupont-Moretti
To everyone’s surprise, the feminist activist, journalist and environmentalist elected to the Paris city council Alice Coffin welcomed this nomination, with Information about France :
“Rachida Dati, I work alongside you on the Paris council. Until tonight she was the leader of the right in Paris, which is pretty much the worst thing to happen in this country in terms of anti-ecological, anti-social politics and so on. Having said that, I have quite a few expectations and quite a few excellent reasons to have expectations regarding the presence of Rachida Dati in this government. For what ? Because she is one of those very rare female politicians who are not afraid of men.
He is not afraid of men and has always used his word, which is very important in politics, to bring them down when necessary, to take a stand, to denounce moral and sexual harassment against a deputy, the same Macronista in the case. for Gilles Legendre. I noticed this daily at the Paris Council: you showed great solidarity with me in defending me from the numerous sexist attacks that dot political life.
Now, Ministry of Culture, this will not have escaped your notice, we are in a cultural and media moment in which we have more and more men who we learn have committed sexual violence, who behave in an extremely violent way towards women.
I wait and ask Rachida Dati to continue doing what she knows how to do, that is, using her words to destroy them, to put them out of danger. He can do it within his government. On Wednesday he just has to be there at the cabinet table.
Since the beginning of Macron’s two five-year mandates, I have been waiting for a female minister to finally dare to speak out against Gérald Darmanin, to dare to speak out against Éric Dupont-Moretti. I have reason to believe that if anyone can do it, it’s Rachida Dati.”
So we bet Alice Coffin is right.
