Gérald Darmanin is not about to forget his face-to-face with Apolline de Malherbe… And neither are BFM TV viewers! Two days ago, tensions quickly arose between the journalist and the Minister of the Interior, who repeatedly said “it’s going to be fine” to his interlocutor. A small remark that some have found misogynistic and sexist…
Asked about this by Ruth Elkrief on the LCI set this Thursday, February 10, 2022, Gérald Darmanin therefore returned to his tense exchange with Apolline de Malherbe. “It was an interview, obviously tense, which prevented talking about the substance, probably on both sides. We talked earlier, we agreed to see each other next week. Obviously, if anyone feels hurt, I deeply regret it. But you don’t have to look for the buzz every time either. You must not tell yourself when you are a man or a woman that you must constantly accept being attacked, caricatured.did he declare.
The Minister of the Interior added that the expression “it’s going to be fine” was not sexist insofar as he uses it with both women and men. “What is sexist and misogynistic is to consider that when you have an interlocutor, depending on whether it is a woman or a man, you must use different words”he concluded.
