“These racist remarks by the President of the Republic, reported by the newspaper Le Monde, are an insult to the Republic. It is an absolute shame. I can’t wait for him to go,” the coordinator of La France wrote on X rebellious Manuel Bompard, becoming indignant like many deputies from his movement.
These comments “are racist. Undoubtedly. They are damning”, added the communist senator from Paris Ian Brossat on the same social network.
“Everything goes: racism, homophobia, sexism. All locked in a gilded palace, far from the gaze of the French, to whom he lectures all day long,” criticized the Somme deputy François Ruffin, also citing other sentences attributed to the tenant of the Elysée by this long-term investigation by Le Monde.
The daily assured in particular on Wednesday that the Elysée had baptized Matignon “La cage aux Folles” when the Prime Minister was Gabriel Attal. And on Thursday, he indicated that the president had described Marine Tondelier, leader of the Ecologists, and Lucie Castets, proposed by the New Popular Front for Matignon, as “comforts”.
“Yesterday, we became aware of extremely shocking homophobic comments from the President of the Republic about Gabriel Attal. Today they are sexist comments (…) We are impatiently waiting for tomorrow…”, denounced on Mrs. Tondelier.
