Since the legislative elections where he was defeated in the first round in the 4th constituency of Loiret under the label Together, Jean-Michel Blanquer has been discreet. The former Minister of Education replaced by Pap Ndiaye in the Borne government failed to be elected deputy on June 12 but he found comfort with his people. In particular his wife, journalist Anna Cabana, with whom he made a remarkable appearance on June 20, 2022 during the presentation of the Evok 2022 literary prize at the Brach hotel in Paris.
No longer being a minister and having missed his conversion to a deputy, Jean-Michel Blanquer now has time to read. He will certainly tackle, if he hasn’t already, the book The Perfect Girl by Nathalie Azoulai (POL edition) who won the Evok prize, a hotel group committed to culture. The jury, made up of around fifteen personalities from the worlds of culture, sport, business and the media, was composed this year of Amir, Keren Ann, Tristane Banon, David Bellemere, Laurence Benaim, Emmanuelle de Boysson, Karima Charni, Boris Derichebourg, Youri Djorkaeff, Arielle Dombasle, Raphaël Enthoven, Laurence Ferrari, Liane Foly, Dorothée Gilbert, Aurélie Saada, Emmanuel Sauvage and Laura Tenoudji.
A large part of the jurors had an appointment at the Brach hotel that day to celebrate Nathalie Azoulai’s novel, which follows the tumultuous friendship between Rachel and Adele. The novelist Tristane Banon was delighted to meet the singer Liane Foly, the host Karima Charni, the songwriter Keren Ann or even half of the duo Brigitte, Aurélie Saada.
A moment of relaxation and erudition for Jean-Michel Blanquer who filed two legal appeals to challenge the results of the legislative elections. One accusing his opponent PCF / Nupes Bruno Nottin, the other overwhelming the Ecologist Collective Ibiza who parodied his person with the “look-alike” Nour Durand-Raucher who emerged during the scandal of his vacation in Ibiza with the one he married last January.
