What think Michel Cymes of the government of Gabriel Attal? Guest of Aurélie Casse on France 5, the most popular doctor in France was questioned about his relationship to French politics, and about the possible proposals he could have received to become, for example, Minister of Health or even Sports . Questioned in this regard, the health professional revealed the first measure he would take, oh so symbolic: “To leave the current Minister of Sports in place.”And for good reason: greatly heckled since she became Minister of National Education, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra can count on the unfailing support of Michel Cymes, who was full of praise for her.
“Because she’s an extraordinary woman, and I find what’s in her mouth today for her blunders, because yes, they are blunders, and she should have brushed it aside quickly. What she is doing as Minister of Sports is absolutely extraordinary.” greeted the one who is part of the Olympic Committee for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, before continuing: “She is there every time, she works like crazy, she has accompanied us all the time, including and especially in the great national cause around sport and health and physical activity. I think she is one of the best Minister of Sports we have had“.
“Leave it to us at Sports”
Before Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the Ministry of Sports had 10 other women ministers: Laura Flessel (2017-2020), Roxana Maracineanu (2020-2022), Valérie Fourneyron (2012-2014), Chantal Jouanno (2010-2011), Rama Yade (2009-2010), Roselyne Bachelot (2007), Marie-George Buffet (1997-2002), Michèle Alliot-Marie (1993-1995), Frédérique Bredin (1991-1993) and Edwige Avice (1981-1984). But since she also headed the Ministry of National Education under the Gabriel Attal I government, the minister has faced strong criticism following controversial remarks she made about public schools, from which she distanced her children because of teachers “too often absent” according to her. Shocking remarks, which pushed many teachers in public establishments to strike.
“It’s hellish, we’re doing something stupid, yes, she was clumsy, yes, she shouldn’t have answered what she answered in relation to her children, she just had to say: This is my private life. She may have lied by omission. So, let’s get rid of this problem of Education, but leave it to us for the Olympic Games and for Sport“ concluded Michel Cymes, visibly very satisfied with the decisions taken by the first cousin of journalist Benjamin Duhamel, and the niece of Nathalie Saint-Cricq, Alain and Patrice Duhamel.
