The former Sports Minister, Amélie Oudéa-Castera, is positioned for the presidency of the CNOSF

Former Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castera, in office during the Paris Olympics, should embark on the race for the presidency of the French Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF), whose election is planned in mid-June, we learned from the organization on Tuesday. “”She told several people her intention to go there, yes», Embed to AFP one of these sources. Contacted by AFP, the ex-minister had not responded on Tuesday.

For the moment, only two candidates have declared themselves to try to succeed David Lappartient, unhappy candidate for the presidency of the IOC: the president of the triathlon Federation Cédric Gosse and the former secretary general of the CNOSF Didier Séminet who had been in open conflict with President Brigitte Henriques. The candidates have until April 20 to present themselves and the election is set for June 19. The candidacy of the former Minister of Emmanuel Macron, whose ephemeral transition to national education had been marked by a controversy over the schooling of his children who had led to his departure, should give another tone to this election.

“His candidacy would be closet to say the least”

«Given her CV, and her magisterium during the Olympic Games, she is indeed likely if no other candidate or candidate comes out of the wood“Consider a member of the CNOSF. “”It raises a lot of ethical questions if she gets started. Can she be elected by her former subordinates? High authority will have to be pronounced in the transparency of public life (HATVP)“Warns another. “”In any case, his candidacy would be client to say the leastAdds this source.

The retraining of former ministers is supervised by law and any situations of conflict of interest is controlled by the HATVP which gives an opinion on the compatibility of employment. The CNOSF Ethics Commission must also study the validity of applications. The president of the CNOSF also sits at the Executive Office of the Alpes 2030 Winter Olympics, whose beginnings are chaotic to say the least, while awaiting a managing director. A board of directors is to take place Thursday in Lyon, at the end of which Cyril Linette, the former PMU manager, could be appointed to this position.
