Addicted to series about vampires and zombies, he knows everything about your favorite stars, with a slight preference for what happens across the Atlantic. Although he has the hot blood of the Spanish, he still maintains his very French humor and never shrinks from a well-intentioned play on words.
This is a position that risks making noise. Guest of Chez Jordan De Luxe this Monday, September 30, a former Secretary of State gave his point of view on the former Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra. A virulent intervention to say the least from this very influential man in rugby.

Here are two who will certainly not spend their vacation together. Since her appointment as Minister of Sports in Emmanuel Macron’s government in May 2022, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra has regularly been talked about, and not always for the right reasons. A former great hope in French tennis, the 46-year-old politician created a controversy around her children, who were educated in the private sector, and her justifications did not really convince public opinion. Married to Frédéric Oudéa, current president of Sanofi, she has already made the rounds on social networks for her media releases, in particular by covering certain tunes from Aya Nakamura’s songs.
A character who therefore divides and who has just given up his place at the Ministry of Sports to Gil Avérous. Regarding Bernard Laportethe opinion is already well decided. Guest of the show At Jordan De Luxethis Monday morning, the one who was Secretary of State for Sports under Nicolas Sarkozy between 2007 and 2009, does not have the best opinion of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra. If the former rugby player admits to knowing her and that their relationship was quite good at the beginning, things quickly deteriorated. “She’s so manipulative. I understood the character”launches the one who was president of the French Rugby Federation (FFR) and who resigned at the start of 2023, before adding: “She has a certain talent, you have to recognize things as they are, but it’s not my cup of tea. I don’t like these mentalities.”
Bernard Laporte pushes Amélie Oudéa-Castéra
If he claims to have never been manipulated by Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the one who is married to Manon, politician and former opponent of Rachida Dati, indicates having seen it done. After maintaining that the current minister was not “white-blue” with certain matters on his back, the former boss of French rugby admits to not liking the type of person that the latter represents. “It is well-born, very rich people who constantly give lessons. They explain to you at the National Assembly that 500,000 euros is not a lot (the gross salary of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra when she was general director of the French tennis federation from March 2021 to May 2022, editor’s note) . Do you realize? But the whole of France is falling upside down when you say stuff like that”says Bernard Laporte.
Obviously very upset with the one who was in a relationship with a great sportsman, the former Secretary of State does not mince his words against the minister. “These are people who are completely disconnected. These people are above ground.”concludes Bernard Laporte.
