In recent days, Nicolas Hulot has been singled out. Indeed, the former French Minister for the Ecological Transition is accused of rape and sexual assault by several women. Shocking revelations that upset the political world. On the occasion of the Council of Ministers held on Wednesday, December 1, Emmanuel Macron finally spoke on this subject. According to the latest information from the Parisian, the President of the Republic would have thus declared: “The position of the government on this subject is constant. We will never accept a society of opacity or complacency. And we don’t want an Inquisition society either. So the challenge is to facilitate and support the release of speech, the collection of complaints, the efficiency of justice. We have done a lot for this and we will continue to act resolutely in this direction. “
The Head of State therefore takes a stand by condemning his former minister. Words that he had to make in order to rule out the judgments that overwhelm Marlène Schiappa. A few years ago, the politician had supported the ecologist during a first accusation unveiled in the investigation of the magazine L’Ebdo. Yesterday, Elizabeth Martichoux notably asked the minister to explain her position on LCI. “Nicolas Hulot for facts which occurred 30 years before I knew him […] Is it me that they come looking for? But it’s a joke, ”Marlène Schiappa wondered.
For his part, Gabriel Attal made a point, in front of the cameras of BFM TV, to underline a fact which he considers important: “There are additional testimonies which are added, which were not known at the time”, indicated the Government Spokesman. At the microphone of Europe 1, Gilles Boyer, meanwhile, declared: “When the case came out, Nicolas Hulot told us about his position, told us that the accusations were based on nothing, and to At the time, we had no way of comparing this version with that of the person testifying, but it was anonymous. (…) We didn’t know anything. ”
